The first Sunday of April every year, the Skunk Cabbage Road Race runs right by our front door. How can you not love a race named for an early-flowering native that smells like my garden sneakers in August.
Looking back at the weather records, it was one of the warmer runs since we moved here in 1999. The temp peaked at 47 F, second only to last year’s 52. (In 2002, the high was only 32.) Today it was in the 60s, but snow is forecast for the end of the week. Such is April, the cruelest month in these parts.
Update: [4/4/07] Graham blogs today about skunk cabbage over at Transatlantic Plantsman.
