Progress of a sort

Air temperature 56 F, wind near calm, clear sky with waning moon. Filing intent on the lawn, and maybe a bike ride. Need to dry out first.

(no subject)

Too early for lilacs around here, but I do know where my towel is.

Might as well be spring

Mowed lawn, even though the grass still sparkled here and there. North Neighbor is recognizing the weekend by cleaning off their boat and running the outboard before putting it in the lake. Signs and portents . . .

Saturday floral report

Blueberry blossoms attracting bumblebees, flowering crab trees . . . flowering, lupine and trillium leaves up but no flower buds seen.

No fresh roadkill. One aged raccoon carcass, already reported, and one gray squirrel well nigh mummified.

Temperature got up to 75 F, suddenly summer, so I got out on the bike and rode upriver and back. Must be car-shopping day -- got passed by a number of dealer plates. Did not die.
