My friend Eileen and I went to the EcoLab at Marian University yesterday morning. It was in the low 70’s and I didn’t need to use the sweatband I had brought along. The sweatband was an essential part of spending much time outside the last month or so.

The waterlilies are getting ready to bloom.

And there were plenty of other flowers.


There were plenty of birds but we could only hear them, they were in the woods. But there was a muskrat.

I wanted this one to face the camera but he would have none of it. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Some of the waterlilies were looking the other way too.
