We may grumble about the weather, but this corn, on Hanover Road, likes it: it appears to be "knee high" already!

The Showy Ladies' Slippers are in bloom.

Probably several blog-readers will remember that back when Highschool Graduations took place in the Eastman Auditorium of the Stafford Avenue School, the janitor - a Mr. Humphrey (or Humphries) - always picked two huge bouquets of them to put on either side of the stage!

And pink or white clusters of
Musk Mallow are blooming
in fields and along country
roadsides.

Because trees and flowerbeds here in Whiskey Hollow took such a beating, I drove around the countryside a little bit, yesterday, to see if crops had been flattened by Thursday's storm - they didn't seem to be, but Brian Staring, who had sent two photographs of the hail on Sanger Hill, also sent me this picture of one of his Pumpkin plants.

He always grows some of the largest pumpkins we've ever seen - he doesn't know what to expect of this year's crop!

A new view on Hanover Road: the old gray barn on the Cornish property has a fine new coat of dark reddish-brown paint!

And - if you drive out Hanover as far as Shanley, you can admire Sally Zweifel's gardens at the crossroads! They've just been planted.

It's going to be a great day. Enjoy it!

Remember that Wimbledon 2007 starts on Monday!
