Today Lucy and I had the day off together so we went to Putnam Connecticut to wander through antique shops and then to a state park for a swim. The park was small but not very crowded and though the swimming area was roped off, it was big enough that you didn't feel too constrained--the actual constraints were the motorboats!

There's no rain listed for the next five days and we're already dry so it's going to be a brown-lawn summer. I'm going to try to get some daylily pictures early tomorrow because they fade quickly in the sun. My asiatic lilies are in full swing--we've cut several for the house,though I've had to keep on top of the lily beetles--pretty but they will wipe out asiatic lilies (leave daylilies alone) .
