Tuesday, 8:00 AM. 50 degrees, wind W, calm. The channel is like glass, the sky is mostly overcast and the barometer predicts rain. A tugboat with a dredging barge behind it is going down the channel.
The hummingbirds haven’t shown up yet, but gardens everywhere in town are colorful with spring bulbs and a star magnolia is blooming beautifully on 11th street. Many plants, like the magnolia, do fine here because of the long, cool springs, the result of the moderating effects of the lake. Hopefully we will not have a hard frost anymore, and the orchard cherries will not get nipped in the bud as they did last year.
