Tuesday, 7:45 AM. 50 degrees, wind SW, light. The channel is crawling slightly. The sky is clear and the barometer predicts sunny skies.The low pressure has moved out and high pressure in, and we still have had no significant rain. The red oak acorns falling on Manypenny Ave. are about half the size they should be. Acorns are a major wildlife food so this is a concern. We need a good rain for the apple crop as well. However, this looks like a bumper year for blueberries, which caught rain at the right time. Andy and Judy went to a Madeline Island bog with friends and came back loaded with blueberries. They are coming to dinner tonight and the menu will be brats and beer, fresh sweet corn and green beans, cucumber salad, and honeydew melon and wild blackberries for desert. Typical summer fare, to be indulged in during the short season.
Lots of yard and garden work to do today.
