Visited Burpee's Fordhook Farm yesterday in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. I couldn't stop gazing with envy at the tomatoes. Almost all in the 8-foot range, packed with clusters of huge fruit, and showing zero signs of senescing. I'm assuming the automatic watering system is the secret. #tomatoes #gardening #burpee #doylestown #pennsylvania #seeds

which will include 500 delegates elected proportionally by county committees
and a preexisting 100-person state committee.
Together, those 600 delegates will decide which of the many potential Platner replacements will face Republican Senator Susan Collins in November.
They have until July 27 to officially nominate Platner’s opponent.
To be eligible for nomination, candidates must garne…

My haul from Waterstones this morning. I went specifically looking for Body Work so was delighted to find it. I didn't mean to buy the two other books. I was initially drawn in by the lovely covers, then the 'buy one get one half price' stickers. I've enjoyed many Japanese novels in translation, starting with The Makioka Sisters by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki a few years ago.

Sonnet 008 - VIII
Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights in joy:
Why lov'st thou that which thou receiv'st not gladly,
Or else receiv'st with pleasure thine annoy?
If the true concord of well-tuned sounds,
By unions married, do offend thine ear,
They do but sweetly chide thee, who confounds

Liebe Rennradfahrende: nicht alle, aber leider zu viele.
Wir haben hier Radwege, drei bis vier Meter breit, top gepflegt. Trotzdem fahren manche daneben auf der Straße. Im Auto egal. Aber ich sitze regelmäßig auf dem Traktor samt Anhänger.

Mehr Zeitdruck, mehr Diesel, mehr Gefahr. Bitte nutzt den Radweg. Danke.
