Event: NEOC: Mt. Tom
 

Turee Pond kayak with Beth around 6p - first time, wished we’d made an April date. Nice breeze, no bugs, peaceful. This beaver lodge is the highest we've seen anywhere - est. 6' above water surface. I try to picture a beaver putting the final shingles on his/her roof.

Run home from BHS, mucky still in a few places and lots of mosquitoes in others.

Sorry to miss the Mt. Tom meet but didn’t feel I have the time (200+ mi in the car etc). Got quite a bit done here in way of boat work; also got a chain saw started (no small feat) & cut some long-standing bent over trees - satisfying to have that behind. Yard is finally coming around. Orienteers leave everything behind, get in a car or on a plane to go play in the woods...and then return, and guess what, nothing got done. I've occasionally considered taking a fall or spring off but never seem to manage.

Event: Spring has Sprung - Redux May 16, 2015
 

Green May


Insect molt

Trail marauder

Nottingcook around 5p - took a look at other possibilities for Tuesday's OLLI walk. Lots of mosquitoes for company; no ATVs or shooters though I would guess Saturday pm/eve is the mostly likely time for "destructionists".

This guy was my best sighting...

Late PM get-going-or-else, from boat work & before Pete & Mel & kids showed up. Along Stoneybrook and then the woods connector to Parsons & back on Allen. Being in the woods proved a balm to the recent busyness w/o end in sight. Too little 'running' since WP. Consistency, training in this case, can slip thru the cracks for any number of bonafide reasons.

From S. Bow kiosk for the OLLI walk next week scoping out the hike as leader. Figured on 2 mi, have about 2.4 presently. Woods in "chlorophyll dazzle". Simply spring, looking toward Monadnock.

Back to get car. Still cool, breezy, nice.
