Truly, a lovely day. I rode my bike for the first time in exactly a month, which felt great. But I also had a flat tire, and changing it caused, I think, more aches than the nine-mile ride. And then, late, Jack and I hiked Beech Hill. Which had few birds—one of which, I’m grateful to say, posed agreeably for a photo.
