New England summer

Air temperature 55 F, wind near calm, sunny. Will probably break up the existential futility of life with a bike ride.

Sunday floral report

Burdock starting to bloom, masses of vetch, flower heads on milkweed awaiting their monarch munchers. Both yellow and white water lilies. Elder Son reports his first monarch sighting, but I am yet bereft.

No roadkill to report.

Upriver to the dam overlook, no eagles but I got a full-length concert from a mockingbird as I munched my krispy square and hydrated. Thence inland a couple of miles and home. Did not die. Ride takes me over 500 miles for the year.

26.88 miles, 2:22:33

Hazy gibbous moon.
