And yet another day dawns

Air temperature 50 F and clear for the morning walk, wind west about 5 mph, garbage waiting by the roadside even though collection will be delayed a day from the long weekend.

Bike ride maybe.

Friday floral report

More buttercups, florets on the lupine spikes starting to open, bunch-berry blooming, and I am going to claim moccasin-flowers, both pink and white. Those are really at the edge of bicycle botany, though.

No fresh roadkill. Tuesday's porcupine corpse lingers, with the scavengers unwilling to work through quills to a meal.

Got out on the bike in advance of forecast afternoon showers. Windy. Did not die.

Suck it up, buttercup

Buttercups beheaded. Also dandelions, ground ivy, the first buds of the yellow hawkweed, and whatever grass can fight for a place in our Darwinian lawn.
