Home for a quick lunch, then off for a walking tour of 10 private gardens in Stonington Village -- Gardens by the Sea. The Stonington Garden Club runs this fund-raising event every three years -- and makes enough money to support community projects for the next three years. Some gardens are tiny, others large; one had only green foliage, another had flowers of all colors. The roses everwhere were in full bloom and very fragrant. Th
e weather was perfect, sunny, neither too hot nor too cold. There were lots of people enjoying the gardens; some were obviously serious gardners , from the questions I heard some of them ask the garden club members stationed
in each garden. The tour is on tomorrow too, and I highly recommend it to anyone who can drive to Stonington -- and stop in to see me on Lord's Point.
Because today was midsummer's eve, we celebrated "with" (virtually speaking) our Swedish friends -- by enjoying a meal of herring, schn
aps, and strawberries and champagne (in US-LP interpretation). We'll miss dancing round the maypole tomorrow!
No computer, so research, no thoughts of SHU. What a great day!
