Thursday, July 15

Yesterday the temperature reached 34 degrees. Today it will apparently get hotter than that. We plan to do as little as possible.

I walk around the garden looking at the hundreds of bees wandering among the flowers. I notice these, whose names I do not know. They grow in various places in and around the garden.

I can feel the sun getting hotter.

Later…

I ask questions and discover that I should refer to the flowers I photographed as hortensia.

But you already knew that, didn’t you!
