Still going quackers

Air temperature 49 F, wind near calm, fog at the airport and visibility 1.5 miles. Reports of frost and hard freeze up in the northern reaches. Should be able to get a bike ride in a few hours. Elder Son reports two duck families on his walk yesterday. 'Tis the season.

Sunday floral report

First wild roses in the bog, birds-foot trefoil, bladder campion, St. John's wort, orange hawkweed outside of town and the multi-head yellow hawkweed. Black locust trees blooming, lots of blue flag iris. Milkweed leaves and stalks, but only saw one preliminary flower head.

Only roadkill seen was a gray squirrel, although I passed several blood patches including one large enough to have been a deer. Not-roadkill, an adult raccoon crossing the road in front of me in an urban area. No geese at the cemetery pond.

Got out on the bike, upriver through that construction zone which was idle for Sunday. Did not die.

Symptomatic
