Armageddon rag

Air temperature 53 F, wind south about 7 mph, mostly cloudy. Supposed to get showers starting about 5 PM leading into overnight rain. What have they done to the rain?

Minor puzzlements

One of the "No-mow-May" signs on my walk route had a guy mowing the lawn behind it. And a couple of others were, yes, not mowed -- but they obviously had done weedkiller for years and had pure grass lawns. Which kinda defeats the bee-friendly aspect.

Meanwhile, bush honeysuckle is starting to bloom and the low-bush blueberry flowers over at the old house had their bumblebees in attendance. Which is good.

(no subject)

Lawn is turning pink with fallen crab-apple flower petals. Each gust of wind is like a shower of confetti.
