I do not know what happened in the middle of the night, for I awoke and then could not fall asleep again. As a result, I read until the sun was ready to rise and then I had a couple of hours of sleep. Strange as it might seem, I have not been sleepy or groggy all day. Michael came to water the birch trees that were recently planted and to trim back the grape vines that had gone over the decorative shrubs. Others came to finish working on the bathroom in the guest bedroom, while Yuri went blueberry picking again, saying that there are berries galore to be picked. He and Michael drove to Norris Creek, a short distance from here, to swim in the warm water where a number of people had gathered to refresh themselves in this hot weather.
