4/27/09 DAFFODILS AND RED MAPLES ARE BLOOMING
Monday, 8:00 AM. 38 degrees, wind W, light. The sky is partly cloudy and the barometer predicts mostly sunny skies.
It rained all day off and on yesterday so it was mostly an inside day, watching the Brewers ballgame in the afternoon. Today we start a pretty good sized landscape job for the Reiten Boatyard Condominiums in town and will be busy with it all week.
The daffodils are blooming in earnest all around town, and if it stays cool will last for weeks.
The red maple I have been watching on Manypenny Ave. is in full bloom. Many tree species we don’t think of as being flowering trees have very nice blooms and are quite attractive overall if we only adjust our viewpoints and expectations a bit. Red maples will now be blooming in the swamps and wet hillsides.
