We will have hot weather today - over 93F (34C). This high temperature is infrequent in Vancouver, Washington.
We did all our watering chores and gardening projects early in the morning. Then, we rested in the shade in the afternoon and read, listened to music, and napped.
Listening to Adam Hurst on cello Obscura, and 2 albums by the chromatic harmonica virtuoso, Gianluca Littera.
Even a squirrel was lounging below the wisteria vine.
I set down pavers in the area below the back bedroom shower. It is a paved area, part of the back porch, and under total shade of the wisteria vines.
Karen worked in the vegetable garden and on potting various plants.
"The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight,
Moon light and star light, owl and moth light,
Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!"
- T.S. Eliot
