We’ll be boiling through Sunday, but the White Hen keeps her cool and knows how to stay out of the mid-day sun. Her favorite spots are the hollow in the apple tree, beneath my garden beds, and underneath the chairs in the yard.

Tomorrow, Maria and I are taking our wool to the Vermont Knitting Mill; we’ll be gone in the morning, just after lunch. I’m staying out of the Sun until Monday. But it’s good blogging weather; my window air conditioner is heroic. I’m writing a review of a book I read this week – Thank You for Your Servitude by Mark Leibovich, the former National Political Correspondent of the New York Times. I read it to be somewhat prepared for the January 6 hearings last night.
