Summer Has Arrived In The Maritimes

(I now have to title everything because Blogger won't post this without "required field" filled in. Why must people tweak things that were working fine before?)

The heat wave has rolled into Eastern Canada, finally. My "Monte Negro" lilies -- a deep, deep red --  popped open this morning. They are my favourite in a garden that has way too much yellow in it.
Dwayne has another flat of berries to pick today for a customer; he picked two yesterday. Next year, he likely won't have to put signs out on the side of the road; he'll be able to sell everything on pre-order. He's working in this heat, though, and the sweat is rolling off him. What makes my lilies bloom and the potatoes grow makes him wilt.
Going to warm through the weekend then hopefully rain on Monday and down to 20 degrees mid-week.
Might be time to turn the heat lamp off over the chicks!
