Hot, hot and hot.

It's been really hot lately. Not just hot, but humid 100 degree hot. I have to get up and water my container plants in the morning and run the sprinklers for about 30 minutes to preserve everything else that grows. Today was a bit of a respite, but tomorrow, more of the hot.
I have to go to a memorial service tomorrow. The husband of one of my former bosses passed away. He had lukemia, but put up a great fight. He was really a nice person and a gardner too.
We bought a new--to us--car yesterday. It is a Volvo--of course--cross country wagon. The color is shark's fin blue. It looks more like gray to me. I doubt that I will drive it very often because I have my car--a lovely green S70. David will get the brick. This may start him on a life of Volvo ownership.
My mother left for Connecticut for a long visit. The trip and the preparations were a huge deal for her. She is there, in spite of a harrowing trip on United Air lines. They give no respect to senior citizens, even if they are in wheelchairs. ( my mother is a shaky walker, but she doesn't use a wheelchair on a regular basis.) Those people had to wait in line just like everyone else. My mother wants me to write a letter to United. She pointed out how much better service she recieved on Southwest last year.
We are going to CT on Saturday. It may be an interesting, but short trip. We plan to stay in Rochester and go by the the Finger Lakes to get some wine. We plan to stop only at Herron Hill on Lake Keuka and Red Newt on Lake Seneca to get some replacements. Then on to CT.
We have no set plans. We may go to Maine to eat lobster and look around. We may go to the casino in CT. Who knows? We may just have to hang around the farm and get things done. Who knows?
