-- The calendar says summer is here. It seems like better weather for boating however. The rain can be useful for making compost i.e. lawn clippings, last falls rotten leaves, occasional rain showers, and some wind  --  my compost pile is still at 110° or more. But ... maybe it's a bit too wet. And I haven't been able to add any lawn clippings given the rain. However, the Peonies smell great.
