Today was Arlington Town Day, but we skipped that in favor of going to look for frogs at Alewife Reservation again, because it was a gorgeous morning. I did see the fireworks last night, on my way back from dinner: I got off the bus and saw them over a building, so walked down Mass Ave to get a better view. About a block away I found a spot where a few other people were watching, where it looked as though the fireworks were aimed directly toward us. One of those people was a child, of an age to go "oooooh!" and say things like "boom" and "this is going to be a big one."
We saw a lot of frogs, some of them quite large, and several turtles; I seem to be getting better at frog-spotting for having had a bit of practice. (The last couple of times, mostly Cattitude and![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
adrian_turtle were pointing them, and I could only find some of those; this time Cattitude and I were each finding frogs and pointing them out to the other.) We also saw a flicker out our porch window this morning, the first I've seen since moving here (though we'd heard a few).
We treated ourselves to lunch at Summer Shack after the frog-watching (thanks,minoanmiss/![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
browngirl for bringing it to my attention), and then decided it would be more fun to walk back home along the bikeway than to take the subway to Porter Square to shop for groceries. I headed out again a few hours later and got a few things we needed, including yogurt and cat food, while Cattitude did laundry.
