Either somebody dropped their Dictionary of World Mythology in the Hurd Field parking lot between 7:30 and 8:30 this morning, or it was concealed until then by the car parked next to mine. I moved it to the curb, where it won't be run over.
Hurd Field, Arlington
Today: 7.8 miles. This year: 408.1 miles.
With infinite patience and a dead calm, you could build a cottonwood snowman today. It would be a milestone of ephemeral art.
At Bedford Street, Lexington
Today: 13 miles. This year: 396.1 miles.
There was a trail cleanup in Lexington too this weekend. Trashbags awaited pickup along the trail all through Lexington this morning.
When I was in grade school, near Rochester, New York, heaps and drifts of cottonwood seeds always marked the closing of school around mid-June. I don't know if the season has advanced since then or if Boston's poplars were always a bit ahead of Rochester's.
Near Tophet Swamp, Lexington
Today: 13 miles. This year: 383.1 miles.
From the ABAC mailing list:
Please join members of East Arlington Livable Streets and the Arlington Bicycle Advisory Committee as we do our yearly clean sweep of the the Minuteman trail. We will have bags, all you need to bring is a pair of gloves.
We have two groups starting at 9 am, one at Alewife that will clean to Arlington center and one that starts at the Uncle Sam statue in the center and clean to Arlington Heights. We are planning on being done by lunchtime. DPW will be removing the collected trash and recycling on Monday.
Today: 13 miles. This year: 370.1 miles.
Spring foliage is well developed all along the trail. I've never seen the new growth on the evergreens so prominent and clearly delineated as it is this year.
At Bedford Depot Park
East of Woburn Street, Lexington
Of all the things I've seen lost or abandoned along the bikeway, this seems the oddest.
Near Arlington High School
Today: 11.6 miles. This year 295.6 miles.
