New spectacles, bluets and garter snake

Picked up my new spectacles yesterday, less than 24 hours after getting eyes tested! Good news that my cataracts are very small and growing extremely slowly - so I can put off concern over surgery. 

Good long lazy walk to the high muddy river, the geese couple still on the island honking at us. Discovered a small moss outcrop with bluets. 

i speculated on the walk up river on the logging road, that a snake might

venture out in these warm days to bask,

delight on the way home to spy a garter snake stretched out,

among the leaves, he didn’t stir as i spoke to him

and hid his head when i took a pictures.

More primaries yesterday; Trump still trumpeting loudly with his hordes and now armed guards. But none of the other Republican candidates are any better, Cruz may be scarier. Hillary bravely carrying on as is Bernie; I'll be working for one of them soon.
