May 24, 2010



Poplar spindrifts filling the air drifting on southern breezes. Fluffy, white, floating in periodic releases, large snowflakes littering the ground.

10:00-77°. H-82°. L-43°. Wind - SSW, 2-5. Sky - scattered cumulus, 25&, clearing. RH- low.

Freddie planted last three beds on Saturday. Tomatoes, eggplant, parsley, the rest {unknown) from seed. My stuff is slowly sprouting.

Vole explosion, one of their periodic population peaks. Scampering across my toes, behind my back - here, there, everywhere in broad daylight. Big brown moles.
