So very warm

A little bubble of summer encloses us today. Tomorrow it will be gone via a marine push, but for now, we'll savor it. The rest of the herb plants are planted, as well as some sugar snap peas; the cat's doing a good job on bird patrol, spooking them but of course never catching one.
I'm near the end - the bottom? - of The Well of Loneliness; how badly gay people suffered not even a century ago. Ironically, one of the characters, a more womanly female, is offered hope via marriage to a man. Marriage wasn't much freer an existence, despite all the "normal" people's approval of it, but this novel pretty well exposes all the miseries possible in any relationship.
Enjoyable late evening conversation with the young ones.
