Day 1337: Late August delights

18, 500 lengths = 94.5 miles.  Water is 78, air temp 80 ish.

Mowing lawn plus trimming lilies, plus three hours of video editing, plus cooking, plus laundry, plus swimming 1.5 miles, plus walk around the block = exhaustion.




This deck has been our home all summer long,.  Although I spend very little time sitting, Steve reads for hours while Molly naps in the sunshine.  We've savored long afternoons of reading, relaxing, resting between swim sets, always surrounded by glorious flowers and greenery that soothes and delights.  Another week of summery temperatures awaits us and we will savor every minute.


I'm sad to see the lilies go dormant, but they were spectacular this year and need a rest.  Trimming the leaves back means the strength and nutrients will go into the tubers instead.  It's backbreaking work, but the gardens look so tidy when it's done.
