On a cool day, this duck recommends an afternoon nap in a nice sunny spot.

Coming into leaf

May 5, 2020Quotes, Spring, TreesJonathan

Two trees starting to grow leaves

From The Trees, by Philip Larkin.

Paved bike path going through trees, next to a field

Last weekend I biked the Great Sauk Trail for the first time. This paved, scenic trail goes along the Wisconsin River, through fields, and then into the Baraboo Hills. What a nice ride.
