Saturday, 7:30 AM, 37 Degrees, wind NW, gusty and raining. The barometer is up, predicting partly cloudy weather.
We encountered rain and snow on the trip and were glad to get home last night, and have to pick Lucky up from Blue Ribbon in Ashland this morning. The meeting yesterday was O.K., with a large emphasis on Emerald Ash Borer, now found in four Wisconsin counties and I am sure will soon hit Milwaukee, where it will be a disaster. The DNR is a huge agency, and does all things properly in theory, but in practice much is left to be desired. The State of Wisconsin does not seem able to marshal the necessary resources to actually quarantine and stop the spread of this pest, and perhaps it is indeed impossible to do so. But, heaven help us if this would be the State’s response to a deadly human disease outbreak.
There is a lot of activity at the bird feeder, everybody taking the approach of winter very seriously now.
