Happy Dominion Day/Canada Day

To all our best neighbors to the north (east, west, south, whatever.)

Judging by the number of Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia licensed cars I see on the road around here, not all of you are spending the holiday at home.

Sunday roadkill report

Couple of mummified muskrats, two flat snakes (think they were garter snakes in a former life).

Waited for the temperature to get up to 60 F and headed out on the bike.  Upriver, _walked_ the bike across the Bridge of Sighs, downriver the other side, tackled a couple of climbs and then got bored with the wind.  I should have done another hour, but some of those clouds looked ambitious...

Live turtle crossing the road, close enough to destination that I didn't need to stop and move him/her along.  Besides, I think it was a snapping turtle, and it might not have thanked me.  Also a good supply of wildflowers, adding pink and yellow forms of vetch to the purple I've been seeing, and more wild roses.  And some really healthy stands of poison ivy.

I note that the Red Sox have started to revert to type.
