heads up

Cloudy. The foundation of this blog is leading a boring life. Doing the same things week after week. Going on a walk in the morning. Going to work. Walking from one building at work to the other. Driving to the Zen Center. Doing these same things week after week, and noticing the changes. Magnolia buds appearing at the Zen Center recently. Also a photo of the most beautiful tree in Vermont which I pass in Shelburne on the way to the Center. Should know what kind of tree it is, but I don't. Also a heads up (literally), Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter will be aligned with the Sun (and the crescent moon I think) after sundown for the next few days.

  2. The old woodchuck, Doug Blodgett, also a state biologist, said it was either a cottonwood or a sycamore. I don't think it's a cottonwood. I think you're right. Thanks!

  3. In case anyone is interested, Mercury is visible starting about 6:15 low in the horizon in the west. If the crescent moon is the center of a clock, Mercury is at 6:30. Venus & Jupiter are easy to spot. So is Mars for that matter, rising in the east about an hour later.
