Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Dear Leader continues to manipulate the stock market. Follow the money . . .

Six geese claiming their hereditary rights to the grass by the cemetery pond. No idea if they included our park geese. Also, mockingbird claiming his rights to the high ground.

Wild apple and cherry trees blooming outside of town. Wild mustard and buttercups adding yellow to the roadside dandelions.

Temperature got up over 60 F, sunny, light winds. Got out on the bike for the first time in weeks, upriver to the turn-around of my ignominious fall. Did not die.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it's natural manure.

Air temperature 46 F, wind northwest about 7 mph, cloudy. Weather radar shows rain still rotating through Downeast and Canada but none aimed at us personally. Should be able to get my walk in.

Got my walk in, minor amount of drizzle on the way home. No cat friends. Heard probable catbirds in several locations. Geese still in the middle of the park, keeping a wary eye on dog walkers in particular.

Tree frogs across park.

The geese have vanished. But are they really gone, or just engaged stealth mode? You never see the one that gets you?

That pair of geese is back in the park. They are getting closer. As long as they stay on the other side of the street, I'm probably safe . . .
