Day 162: Summer Sunday

Summer days filled with swimming and gardening are finally here!  I swam 100 lengths (one half a mile)  today so I should be able to hit my goal of a mile a day by the end of the month.  Rain yesterday helped revive the hostas which were getting a bit crispy.  Their fragrant blossoms add a sweet perfume to the yard.  I filled many containers with gorgeous annuals.  Sweet potato vines curl around the begonias and geraniums while licorice and bacopa drape gracefully over the edge of the pots.  Steve will be speaking to the 8th graders about his experiences in Vietnam for the next two days, so I will have the days off!
