one last damp English summer's day


Even the aliums - alia? - in the family garden are starting to look ragged and faded in the damp.  There were some sunny intervals, to be sure - but we became completely drenched this morning on a walk around the 'hood, and then just missed another heavy downpour later in the day.  Somehow, this week hasn't quite lived up to my hope that Alice would, at last, be convinced that it doesn't always rain in England ... I certainly feel by now that I might grow lichen on myself, like a Costa Rican sloth.
