Air temperature 48 F, wind north about 6 mph, sunny. Overnight low 40 F. Hummingbird was out plundering the azalea as the sun rose, matching the predawn joggers for zeal and beating out the bumblebees. We will do our foraging on a more sedate schedule.

Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonorable graves.
Men at some time are masters of their fates.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.
