Sunday pollen report

Earliest day lilies blooming, lots more yellow hawkweed and buttercups (including the ones in the horse pasture that always make me wince a little), still a few late rhodora bushes blooming in the bog. More oaks dropping their catkins, tamaracks filling in.

No roadkill to list. A number of blotches on the asphalt might have been frogs before yesterday's rain. Not-roadkill, a number of redwing blackbirds claiming cattails, and a white-tail deer regarding me with distrust from next to a tangle of brush.

Got out on the bike, upriver route but not stretched out for weekend range. Did not die.
