Friday, 8:30 AM. 43 degrees, wind W, calm. The channel sparkles silver, glittering in the reflected rays of the rising sun. The barometer predicts sunny skies, which are presently clear.The last of the Chamber’s daffodils, 400 bulbs that weren’t purchased by members, were planted yesterday by Jay’s Tree Service in Fountain Garden Park. That makes about 2,000 planted there this fall in addition to as I recall 500 previously. In all, 7,000 daffodils were planted in Bayfield through the chamber’s efforts this fall. That is in addition to about 20,000 planted in several prior years. Next spring’s display will be even more spectacular than last years, which was a real “wow!” We will, I hope, plant at least 5,000 daffodil bulbs each fall for at least the next few years. It is nothing exotic and as they say, “it ain’t rocket science,” but it gets everyone out of the winter doldrums and is very good for business.
I am recovering quickly from the depredations of the oral surgeon, and the tooth fairy indicates that I will be back in good form by the end of the day.
