Saturday, 8:00 AM. 53 degrees, wind W, calm. The east half of the channel is glassy, the west half dimpled. The skies are clear and the barometer predicts mostly snny weather. The holiday weekend will be a perfect ten.
The hedge maple, Acer campestre, is a serviceable and attractive large shrub-small tree, of eastern European origin, long used in landscaping in this country. It has attractive yellow fall foliage color and, as pictured, colorful winged samaras (a papery fruit enclosing the seed). Properly trimmed it can make a hardy small street tree.
Lots of everything to do this weekend.
