Nattering nabobs

Air temperature 47 F, wind southwest about 5 mph, partly cloudy. Bike ride planned if we get enough molecular activity out there. Most of the rest is "No comment."

Thursday floral report

Orchard apples blooming, first lily-of-the-valley, may have seen a red trillium but they're good at hiding. One lawn purple with violets, lilacs starting to open but no perfume yet. Blueberries along the roadside starting to bloom, later than our in-town microclimate.

No fresh roadkill. Porcupine out on the road through the bog is pretty much reduced to a mat of quills.

Temperature into the 60s F, wind gusting over 20 mph, got out on the bike. Did not die.
