Wednesday, 7:30 AM. 41 degrees, wind NE, calm. The sky is mostly clear with some haze. The barometer predicts precipitation.
The box elder, Acer negundo, is a small to medium sized tree that grows everywhere and is generally dismissed as a weed tree, although it is not really that. It is also called ash-leaved maple because it has pinnately compound leaves, unlike other maples. But see how beautiful its flowers are! Everything, in nature has its own distinctive beauty if we but seek it out.
The spring warbler migrations have begun, tiny birds are flitting about, but I do not have the patience to be a really good birder and salute those who do.
