Days settling into the summer routine I find delicious. Much painting, much writing, afternoon punctuated by cocktails and a brief sleep, opening on an evening which is almost another day. My gardening is almost done for the summer, except for weeding and maintenance, and except for 62, which is a jungle. The Japanese ariseama looks to be taking over everything, which is fine, it being attractive and maintenance free. Two such volunteers came over with the peonies. I took them out of the peonies and gave them their own spaces to imperialize. I live in the stories I am writing and painting, and have not that much to say.  DJ and I saw the latest Spiderman, which I liked the best of the lot.
