Still more hand-baskets

Air temperature 61 F, wind southwest about 7 mph, sunny. Happy solstice of your choice. We in the north half now begin our slow descent into darkness and despair. May get a bike ride in.

Saturday floral report

Bedstraw blooming in the roadside grass, some of the earliest day-lilies, crown vetch, daisy fleabane. Which Wife says has no actual effect on fleas. Lupines going to seed, also black locust.

Roadkill limited to one painted turtle by the roadside, carapace shattered. No sign of geese or ducks at the cemetery pond, either going or coming. Chipmunk on the corner of our front porch when I got home.

Got out on the bike, upriver and over and back through the bog, road paving not in action for the weekend. Did not die.
