THE MORNING SKY
TURTLE HEAD PLANTS
TURTLE HEAD FLOWERSMonday, 7:15 AM. 55 degrees, humidity 55%, wind SSW, light with stronger gusts. The sky is partly cloudy and the barometer predicts the same. There is .2” of rain in the gage. August feels like fall this morning.
The turtle head, or snake head, Chelone glabra (Scrophulariaceae) is native to wet areas throughout much of the NE U.S. It is not a rare plant but I don’t see much of it, these located on Bloom Road in Town of Russell.
Yesterday evening we saw two bear cubs scampering across Turner road, just north of Hwy J. They were about 50 pounds, roly-poly, and cute as can be. Mama must have been ahead of them as we did not see her. No chance for a photo.
