 Snowshoe Hare. Jack and I came upon a hare this morning. It didn’t dash away—rather stayed by the trailside nibbling on purple clover while I took about three minutes of video. Then it loped toward us a ways before slipping off into the thicket. That was a surprise.
 American Redstart. As was the pair of Mallards that flew swifly past us on our trip back down.
The morning was cool and overcast and just a teensy bit rainy, but by afternoon things had warmed, the sky had cleared, and I couldn’t resist taking dog up the hill again, but this time wearing sandals. (Me, not Jack.)
And then I mowed my lawn.
