Today has been a perfect, gorgeous summer day. The skies are clear and blue, the sun is shining warm, bright rays, and there’s just enough of a breeze to keep the air from getting too hot. Earlier this afternoon Olof took Petra out for a walk in her pram while Tage, the dogs, and I puttered around on the porch. (Lydia, as usual, was off playing with friends — it seems we hardly see her these days.)

Tage made his rounds between the three of us, keeping an eye on us and making sure we maintained order in the ranks.<\/p>\n
I re-potted twenty-two plants, mostly cuttings that had outgrown their original pots.
