Squirrel sabotage

Power out for about an hour this morning, after a boom up the street. Back on now. Found a corpse in the sidewalk on my local survey.

Air temperature 64 F, wind northwest gusting to 21 mph, partly cloudy. Should be able to get a bike ride in.

Friday floral report

White sweet clover, rabbits'-foot clover, and rambling roses now blooming. Definitely both yarrow and Queen Anne's lace. Cattails and sumac flower spikes up but not open yet. Almost all the lupines have gone to seed.

No roadkill identified, not even a squirrel. Several blotches on the asphalt, but the cleanup crew has been active.

Got out on the bike, upriver and then back through the bog. Paving project on hold for the weekend, but they have advanced and may get done in a week or two. Did not die. Ride takes me over 200 miles for the year, half of what I would like to have done by this point.

15.59 miles, 1:31:35
