“What leaf, this time of year, is so pale?”  —Carl Phillips

The luna moths had their week earlier this May, and that was  about all the spring we got in the mad rush from winter.  Everything sprung at once — there were fawns and fox kits in the woods, baby minks and bobolinks in the marshes and meadows.  And the stage was set for summer.

In other news, Debbie Meier has a friend visiting during the first week of August with a toddler.  If anyone knows someone who wants to pick up a little babysitting income, please contact Debbie.  And Eva Thaddeus and family are back on the east coast, and we all look forward to their increased presence in the community.

Welcome back everyone.  See you in the pond!
