Air temperature 42 F, wind NW gusting to 20 mph, partly cloudy. In the absence of lockdown, today would be the observance of yesterday's anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord. And a marathon, and a baseball game.

Pollution levels must be getting unacceptably low. Dump truck idling for at least 15 minutes out on the street, empty. Seems to be related to a driveway up the block a ways.

Forsythia starts

Also, first dandelions. And Ms. Karma was out, tucked in a sunny spot under her neighbor's rhododendron. I petted and scritched, per request.

Got recharged -- wind in the white pines, a well-tuned forest stream, wood frogs quacking, and a chipmunk. A lot of trees down at the nature center, but that's life. As well as death.

Warning
