It was the longest day of the year. Amanda is on night float… translation: she is the night family medicine person at UW Medical Center who handles all their inpatient stuff and childbirths. I don’t think they usually have a lot of medicine patients, but there are always laboring women coming out of the woodwork.
I am baking biscotti and granola right now as requested by Amanda. Actually, the biscotti is getting done first and then I will make granola. I was going to paint all the repaired drywall (the drywall guys came on Monday, the tile guy came back on Tuesday), but I will wait until tomorrow morning since I will be baking all night.

Here is a solstice picture of part of our pond’s lily plant , which shot up a new flower today.
