That’s a corner of a watercolor my mother painted when we lived near some woods in Schenectady.

Do you know if you type “Schen” or “Shenec” or “Shenecta” the city’s name comes popping up in autocorrect? Also, and I love this even more, to this day when I type “trump” autocorrect never supplies a capital “T.”

Today’s haiku is relevant:

6/4
Low decibel leaf
blowers the norm after years
of law-breaking noise.
