Hand-basket shortage

Air temperature 47 F, light southwest breeze, clear sky. Morning bike ride probable. All our hand-baskets are currently in transit. Wait your turn.

Thursday floral report

Honeysuckle flowers opening, first buttercups, lilacs perfuming the air, apple trees strewing petals in my path.

No roadkill. Not even suspicious stains on the asphalt.

Rode across town and took my water stop by the airport/base -- C-5A and RAF transport parked in the visitors' lot. Think the transport was an "Atlas" -- my plane-spotting credentials are iffy on European aircraft. Anyway, did not die.
