Swampwalk social distance day 186
Panda the cat watching squirrels from his fence as I walk by.
Much cooler today, 71f in the sun, probably 5 cooler in the shade, which is ideal for me.
Critter count, aside from Panda, 3 squirrels, a few turkey vultures, one robin, a couple of cowbirds and lots of brown and white butterflies pairing off in combat or love.
I haven’t seen alien or fluffernutter kitty lately, but if they are indoors, I am happy they are safe.
Possum skeleton is totally gone, either covered by foliage or scattered by gnawing beasts.
About half the people I saw (4 of 9) were wearing masks, disappointing.
Mrs picked up our mail for the first time in about a month, looking forward to seeing if ballot info is in there yet, plus glyos stuff ordered a few weeks back.
May go for a 2nd walk later this evening if body, weather and light holds out for us.

Swampwalk social distance day 185.
I brought @maximillian_deersteak with me to the swamp for a quick jaunt during lunchtime. We saw a squirrel, panda the cat, a skunk, some crown-tipped coral fungus as well as the standard toadstool / step fungus.
Birdsong was minimal, but cicada chirps were plentiful.
Midday mosquitoes were out but not too terrible, maybe a few bites each.
Weather was a bit cooler, but direct sun was still plenty hot. I am ever thankful for leafy shade. Some branches by the water seem to have snapped off recently, maybe from recent rain… Or just age. I know the feeling.
