Field Notes- Friday, June 2nd. Very Hot and then a Big Storm blows into Maine




 Asian Style Rock Garden.  I have always been a Fan of the Japanese style of landscaping.  Neat, clean and orderly with a beautifully peaceful vibe.  I tried for this but...didn't have the Time (with work) to do my yard plan justice.

And I have no idea what happened to my concrete Japanese Lantern.  The Buddha is in the house.

So.....a cloudy, still day outside.  The Landscaping company my daughter has worked with for many years now, had a big client cancel at the very last moment...after they had shopped for Annuals for his property. Daughter took some, I have some (waiting for the bill) and some are in the Company greenhouse.....in case other clients need them.   I would have a picture here, but.... tomorrow will have to do- unless it rains all day.  Today.

All colors I love.  Lime green, purple and white, magenta, hot pink.....my containers will be lovely. I have some tall Black and Blue.  That's their name.  the Botanical Gardens in Boothbay propagate them for a wide bed each Summer.  They are a solid zone six and Maine is only six-ish in July and August. My gripe with the Botanical Garden here in Maine is that they promote New Jersey plants.   I have refused to visit.

I have FIVE delicious books waiting at the Library.  

DebL.  Kaliopie or how ever it is spelled is available at my Library if I had a Smart TV.  I do not.  Also in the info on their blog...even a four minute watch of any movie counts as an entire movie and you only get 4 programs a month.  So not the most generous of services.  My Library continues to show itself to the Public.  Take and not Give.  Most of the books I read...come from other Maine Libraries. My Library buys fewer and fewer new books and begs for funds 365.  What do they do with the cash????
