Walked our ASD daughter in Norwich, CT, last week, hometown of Benedict Arnold. The second sentence jumps out as a vaccine ad.

Historical placard about Benedict Arnold that says he and a sister were the only two of eleven to survive into adulthood.

Now, as ya say, the female cardinal is certainly brown, a bit like me mother’s bangers, but with a bit of orange streaking, d’ye see, whereas the female scarlet tanager is more a palish yellow, like me nannas eggs when she was in her cups, don’cha know. Now, the vermillion flycatcher

I think we can all agree that Lake Huron should now be called Lord Huron.

And rather than some guys, why not the place between that fine bunch and the ones who don’t quite make the Hall. Just solid everyday players that never quite make HoF convo. I give to you: Chet Lemon

Who Ishmael really is might be the great American imposter question, and too bad it’s not film, because we all know who America’s greatest fugitives are:

All the farm’s fallow fields droop with purple vetch now, in shape looking so much like herring spawn attached to sunken limbs.

Stalks of deep purple flowers among tall, green grass.

Flushed a hen mallard while weed whacking a stonewall. Looked but didn’t look long. Flagged it off and won’t go near for some time.

Keep an eye out for turtle mums scoping nest sites this time of year, especially on roads. Almost ruined this poor soul with a mower today.

The Road of Roads with the Songs of Songs. Long walk with our oldest today. 14 warblers and tons of other stuff. Medicine.

Dirt road lined with mountain laurel and leafing out hardwoods.

Our freshman daughter’s history teacher is prone to lengthy digressions, putting them a full century behind the other history teachers, so we of course call him Uncle Colm.

My favorite yellow birch trio. Early yet, but the woods are waking. Titmice and towhees calling, saw a garter and a couple mourning cloaks, blueberries leafing. Just a bit more earth tilt and we’re there.

Three yellow birch trunks in thick forest, trail going between them.

Funny/true. Just read it ironically. This passage toward the end (underlined) when the entire crew has resigned itself feels like it was written this morning about the GOP:

Alike joy and sorrow, hope and fear, seemed ground to finest dust, and powdered, for the time, in the clamped mortar or Ahabs Iron soul. Like machines, they dumbly moved about the deck, ever conscious that the old man's despot eye was on them.
