One tattered gray squirrel, one matriarch-class raccoon up near the auto graveyard. That junkyard may also be roadkill -- couple of for-sale signs out front, and I think that will be a hard property to move.
Rhododendrons starting to open, more rhodora out in the bog, fruit trees dropping petals. Lupines and buttercups flourishing.
Windy, still cool, but got my bike miles in. Did not die.
