Soon we'll be looking for the cold spots in the pond. We were hot today in the field. It was strangely nice to be relatively still on the ground and finger weeding all day, though the ground itself was hot. We talked of thermoses of iced lemon water, and using ice cube trays to make popsicles on cherries from the cherry tree. As if our fantasies were coming to life, Elena brought us strawberry popsicles at a crucial point in the afternoon. At lunch time, we saw a flock of cranes spinning up and up and up on the air currents rising from the valley, taking advantage of the warm day's flow to boost their migration effortlessly and gracefully.
