Spruce.
Today was a blue and rainy day. No metaphor. Literally.
Oh, it started a little frosty, with “ice pellets” coming down amid a wet flake or two. Crows populated the bare crown of a big tree in Rockland at midday, as light rain descended from a dim blue sky. Mists and fog rose and hung and lingered. It was a busy day for me—didn’t make it up the hill with dog until late in it.
Saw two bird species: a lot of robins and one sparrow.
Got pretty wet. Didn’t mind.
