I love the Nantucket outdoors. I am paying the price, contracting Babesiosis. I last got it in 2013, the year my parents died and the year two of my sons got married. I remembered the symptons...because I didn't get confirmation until after treatment!
I went off-island for what was supposed to be 2 days but wound up being 5. When I returned a week ago the wild cherry were blooming and the Rubus dewberries were blooming along the Polpis Road. The ox-eye daisies are going strong.
On June 18, Josh and I walked with Alan Reinhardt and the Nantucket Conservation Foundation at Massasoit Plains. Nice to discover a new part of the island where we haven't hiked. We hiked through the woods to the Plains and then over to Clark Cove.

The next day we headed to Windswept Bog and Stump Pond, where the sandplain blue-eyed grass and blue flag iris were abundant.
