May 8, 2008 Late Evening

A calm evening. No wind. The rain today was the gentle kind that allows seeds to germinate without being washed from the soil. Plants are growing with a lush heave. Many tent caterpillars this year. More than ever, as far as I can recall, crawling on all surfaces. The cat is obsessed with them. I'm keeping him away as I fear they are toxic, as they've proven to be to horses.
