I woke all set for a long hike. First, the toilet broke. I got that fixed. Then the car died. I’m still sorting that out. I’ve got lots of work to do and a good book to read.
I went for a walk around my neighborhood. There are plenty of those green corridors - enough border area to support every animal from squirrels to deer.
The raspberry plants have new growth, violet leaves emerge in disturbed places - and there’s a huge sloped lawn where robins pluck worms and tiny dandelion flowers bloom far from car exhaust and garbage. I can either add flowers to my salad or make fritters.
I’ll probably go for the salad, which is easier. I go back for a hand X-ray this week.
It was another kite-flying day and I feel robbed of a seven-mile or more hike. But it was not in the universal plan for me to go anywhere. Everything is off today. Even the navigation bar on my site is gone.
OK, more pain medication - or quit this and go back to Rachel Carson?
