new month

It has been a very social weekend. Warm. Hot actually. Quite lovely save for the mosquitos which have been horrific. Sunday evening we were chased in off the deck because we could not eat in peace.

This morning I pulled out my spinach which has gone to seed already.



I have watered my flowers and garden. And replanted spinach and thinned out my radishes.







I have a book of short stories - I will delve into that. We are invited to the in-laws for dessert and celebrating the end of grade 7.

I think I hear my daughter being dropped off. She has dance camp at noon. We have heard the most exciting news. This year the school is sponsoring a trip to Russia for the senior girls. They will study ballet in a Russian school for 2 weeks. My daughter is too young this year but in two years she will be able to go - I will go as a chaperon - we shall start saving our pennies.
