Tuesday thoughts

Picnicking on raccoon

Notes on Sunday’s photo outing: Sunday was my first time being away from the house in more than a month. I am still getting used to the crutches, but I don’t expect to be hiking the Appalachian Trail. Dogwood trees are in full bloom and much better than the paltry offering of last year. Still plenty of pollen in the air. I saw one hay field that had been mown; this is a task that is usually performed in late May or early June. Spring weather conditions have been good for farming. As we were driving, we saw a black snake having an argument with a mocking bird; the bird seemed to be getting his point across because the long reptile was trying to slither away from him all the while being determinedly pecked. We were in traffic so I could not get a shot of the action happening in someone’s front yard.

Carolyn has radishes coming out of the wading pool dirt; she is pissed because she has to thin them. She says it is a waste, but it is necessary to get proper growth from the survivors.

We had another power outage last evening, lasting about an hour. It was pretty well city wide because Carolyn could not clean any of her buildings, even in North JC. The American infrastructure continues to crumble.

My eyes are still screwed up; I hope you will forgive the poorer than usual writing and photos.

Have a Tuesday!
