Bonnie - nice to hear that the pool landscaping is coming along well.

Elaine - has your rain subsided? Nice to have it, but would be even nicer in moderation. Glad your power is back on. Who is Saint?

dmc - as none of the orchestras are full-time operations, they all set a season and when it's done, no more till next season. Concert dates next year look as though I'll have fewer conflicts between the two orchestras. The National Arts Centre Orchestra (NACO) with music director Pinchas Zukerman here in town is a full-time job. They stay busy until the end of July with special summer programming and have August off. (Small orchestra and I don't play with them.)
Haven't seen or heard much about your farm of late. How is it coming along?

Sarv - does DIL HAVE to go on all the camping trips? I should think that getting the thesis done would be a valid excuse to stay home in peace and quiet and work on it.

Hey - where is everyone today? Nobody's posted except me since I started trying to catch up. Maybe I should take that as a sign and go do something. I DID have my car clean-air tested yesterday. Now I can go renew the registration instead of waiting up to the deadline in mid-July. And since it's too wet to garden, maybe I'll stop by a couple of garden centres and see if they have end of season bargains. Some of the plants I got last year half-price end of season - several Delphiniums and a couple of Achillea are doing really well this year.

If you want a chuckle, check out the thread which Sandy put up about our Hosta garden outing last Thursday. http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/619872/ I'm gonna take a look at my pics as well to see if I have any in addition.

Here's a rose to send you off on a good (I hope) day. My first Chicago Peace Rose of the season.
