A crisp 40°F this morning. Just enough to make one pause as one goes outside and debate whether or not a long sleeve might be called for.

Dawn has just been breaking as I make my way across the swamp/lowlands these days and is cause for me to slow and watch the sun come up thru the attendant mist over the water.

The deer are thick as thieves currently, I had em galloping along down both sides of the road as they search for a break in the foliage to disappear into.

And of course we're currently in the midst of the annual frog migration. Why they need to go from swampy area one to swampy area to is still a mystery. The roadway become littered with hundreds of thier little corpses. You can't avoid em and if you nail em just right you can fling em a good distance with a bike wheel.
