Blue sky

Probably won't last.  It's a Heisenberg thing, once you notice it, it's gone.

Also 40 F out there, so any bike ride will have to wait.  If I thought the temperature would last, I could dress for that (fleece pants and jacket) and ride.  We know better.

Sunday roadkill report

Scraps of squirrel, one garter snake (probably caught trying to warm up on the pavement), a hundred or so woolly-bear caterpillars. ' Tis the season.

Temperature got up to maybe 50 F so I added a fleece jacket to my normal cycle attire and headed out across the bridge and upriver.  More breeze than I felt necessary, but brisk wood-smoke tinged fall air, and assorted flowers.  Including some violets that have decided to make another run at spring.  Not-roadkill, one immature bald eagle soaring and circling upwind and soaring again above the upriver bridge back across, where I'd stopped for a water break and to admire the view over the water.  Speaking of water, there was a lot of it.  Islands upriver of the bridge under water, like spring runoff conditions, and rainbows of spray coming over the dam . . .
