…occasional spatter of rain. Nice day on the planet. Thanks to the wind, the second half of my bike ride required no pedaling.

Mimi up north. For me, an Americano and scone at Sharla’s coffeeshop, a couple hours of research (at Fort library), the initial steps in an attempt to propagate clones of Vi’s/Anna’s spectacular flowering crab tree, a major and long-delayed cleaning of the home coffee machine—and, the bike ride.
