July 30. A dark morning
but no rain - just mist. Out
on road north of town I looked
at large area that had been
bulldozed, presumably for an
eventual gravel pit, as done
south of Inniswit. Finally got
Alvina, intractable with this diet.
Then down to river, or at least
the channel used by boats
coming to Inniswit, near large
oil tanks farm. Willows wet but
not as bad as yesterday & very
glad I went in, in spite of much
reluctance, because a brand new
moss to me - Myriophyllum ? - was
growing in abundance on dirt
over bases of willows, where
inundated in flood times. God
save us, with springthistles, for
as dicotati. Back to hotel about
