Air temperature 68 F, wind WSW about 5 mph, high thin clouds. Bike ride planned, early rather than later.

Purple loosestrife starting to bloom, damned invasive alien taking over the world. Also lots of cornflower and goats-beard and still defiant buttercups. Milkweed blooming but no monarch butterflies seen yet.

No fresh roadkill. The forces of decay have reduced my Kelly Road porcupine to a pile of quills. Not-roadkill, a chipmunk skittering across the road just up the street from us and a snapping turtle in the brush by the edge of a power-line cut near the bog. Maybe 12" shell.

Got out on the bike, air temperature around 80 F, did not die.

15.28 miles, 1:15:31
