6/19/09 AN EXCEPTIONALLY PRETTY THING



Friday, 8:00 AM. 66 degrees, wind W, calm. Fog obscures the channel but the sun is trying to burn through. The western sky is mostly clear. The barometer predicts rain, which we got .25” of last night. It is a quiet, fresh morning, with a hint of ozone in the air.
The puffy azure blue flower is meadow rue, Thalictrum dioica, a less-common wild plant of meadows and woods. It is an exceptionally pretty thing.
