Diary 6/21/11

Summer solstice!  When I was 13, I spent this day at a small village at the tip of a fiiord in Norway, folk dancing into the night.  It was the land of the midnight sun and didn't ever get really dark that night.  We traveled south after that and the effect was less as we did so, but for me that night was invigorating enough to keep dancing forming a yearly visited memory! Another bright sunny day here in Oregon, something like this Coreopsis. Replanted corn which had another bad germination-so much for year old corn seed. I could mention GMO shelf-life gene, but I won't. We also worked on tomato frameworks.  My most excellent wwoofers are leaving Friday, so we are trying to wrap up a couple projects before they head off to see several of the western national parks~ lucky dogs!
