MALE WILLOW FLOWERS ALONG THE ROADSIDE
A PATCH OF SHIN-LEAF
SHIN-LEAF LEAVES
FORGET-ME-NOTS
PUSSY TOES, APTLY NAMED
A PATCH OF PUSSY TOESTuesday, 8:00 AM. 39.5 degrees, up from 36 degrees earlier. Wind W, very light. The sky is clear and the barometer predicts the same.
The old crack willows along Tenth St. are shedding their yellow male catkins, their work now done. They lie in windrows along the edge of the road.
There are large patches of shin-leaf, Pyrola rotundifolia, in the woods, not yet in bloom. Blue flowered forget-me-nots, Myosotis scorpioides, are blooming, as are pussy toes (genus Antenaria, I’m not sure of the species). Will April flowers bring May showers?
Today I have to call Digger’s Hotline to have utilities marked for city tree planting. It is a rather daunting task.
