10/09/08 FALL COLOR, SPRING COLOR



Thursday, 7:45 AM. 41 degrees, wind S, moderate. The channel is crawling and will get really choppy as the wind picks up. The sky is clear but the barometer predicts rain.
The morning is almost heartbreakingly beautiful, the color near peak.
We will plant 5,000 more daffodils today, starting at Fountain Garden Park and then on to the Lutheran Church on 6th and Mannypenny, and the Frist residence on 6th and Rittenhouse. I choose the locations according to the impact the display will have when viewed from a moving vehicle, and assurances that the display will be long term. In a few more years we will be the Daffodil Capital of the North.
