Beautiful this morning. The sun was nowhere near up yet at 5:00 but the half moon was up in the middle of the sky illuminating the clouds and some of the scenery. I even saw another cyclist for the first time, or at least his headlight and various reflectors, as he came up to the road I was on. He (I don't know the rider's gender so I'm using "he" in the neuter sense.) turned after me and headed out of town. I made a left about a half mile later and he didn't, so I don't know where he was going. I didn't hear an answer to my surprised "Good morning!" but it doesn't matter.

There are so many trees and other flowers in bloom lately that it's like the air itself is perfumed.
