Long, Hot Solstice

We seem to have, once again, settled in to a solar schedule—heading towards the haystack as night falls, and then thinking about coffee in the pre-dawn (which is way too early). But, the long days make for a lot done.
Today, we declared the boat finished and ready for launch. Also enjoyed and extended dump visit.
The heat that has been inching north across the continent arrived here today, making us glad to have done the boat work early when a light on-shore, foggy breeze kept the work bearable. We have also now re-established the hot weather house routine of staying closed up in the daytime and opening up at night.

Below, a nice patch of sensitive fern, which is sensitive to frost. At present it does not look worried.

And here, is a visitor making itself to home on the front deck.
