Air temperature 65 F, wind NW about 5 mph, scattered clouds. Bike ride probable. Then I need to haul the shop-vac down to the basement and clean up around the dryer before we have a repair man look at its thermostat. And mow the lawn. And. And.
One dead raccoon just this side of a closed cafe in the next town up, one garter snake out past the bog. I used to see roadkill raccoons near that cafe before it closed last year -- maybe this one had vague memories of a food source.
Nothing new in the floral department, although a few white asters are now blooming on this route. Some of the loosestrife out in the bog is up over 6' tall. Guess it likes it there.
Got out on the bike, air temperature in the low 70s F and light wind. Did not die.

Just saw an ad for a ticket-sales site called "TickPick". These are people who don't live in Lyme disease territory.
