Finding Ulysses

We’re already well above the national average at $3.75 per gallon of gasoline here in Trumansburg. 4.1 cents per gallon of gasoline to go until we’re paying four dollars per gallon.

The view certainly is nice enough, with plants rushing to break bud, opening leaf and flower… only it’s all happening so fast. Varieties of daffodil, I notice, that are ordinarily one after another this year are coming together. I’ve mowed parts of my lawn twice already.
