67 degrees; sticky-feeling after a night of off-and-on rain and thunderstorms. Thee are patches of blue sky, but it's bound to be a little boggy in Bouckville! Today's forecast seems to be a repeat of yesterday's:
A couple of heavy-duty clouds hang over Boston: one is rain........
and even after that passes to the East, a darker cloud will linger...........
with conditions 4.5 games sunnier in New York!
Today is "Ride in the Country" day, but - as you who live in this area know - there's ALOT of "country" and we havn't really decided on a direction to take, but it is the right time of year to ride through the Brookfield Horse Trail System(sans horse) and search for botanical specimens of Gentianni Andrewsii - "Bottle Gentian." Frequently found in the High Peaks, there are only a couple of habitats in this area and, unfortunately, the plant scorns any sort of human intervention or willingness to aid propogation. In other words: you can't dig up a chunk and expect it to live anywhere else, nor will seeds germinate in "foreign" soil. So... we leave it alone and just go to visit it, year after year.
