Contrary weather

Air temperature 68 F, wind northwest at 8 mph, rain shower on the radar but not reaching the ground here. Yet. Should be able to get out on the bike later.

Raining now. Bike ride delayed.

Sunday boring report

Usual suspects in the floral department, lots of brown-eyed Susans, Saint John's wort, vetch, lilies. Clover gone to seed except for the rabbits'-foot. Again saw a rare pink chicory out in the bog, one plant in the thousands of blue.

No roadkill. Did think I saw a dead blacksnake in the roadside weeds, but then I got to the end of it and it was an hydraulic hose. Hope nobody really needed that.

Rain ended, road dried off, got out on the bike. Weather has not been helpful -- had wanted to stretch my ride upriver, but the time wasn't there. Did not die.

Substitution

Still haven't had any definite hummingbird sightings at the hostas, but did have a hummingbird moth this morning.

Political games

Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this, you lose

Wonder how long until the nuts start claiming that she isn't American. "This is why we have to get rid of birthright citizenship!"
