Friday, 8:00 AM. 57 degrees, wind W, light to moderate. The channel is wrinkled, the sky overcast to the south and west, and the barometer predicts ran.
The native dogwoods are blooming, this one being the red-twigged dogwood, Cornus stolonifera. There are more decorative red and yellow twigged dogwoods which are of European and hybrid origin, but the native is fine for general landscaping and naturalizing.
Joan and I are happy to report that the great blue heron that is omnipresent summers in the sloughs west of Ashland (we like to think of it as “our bird” but it may indeed be more than one) has returned to its favorite haunts, we had almost given up on it. Maybe it has been better fishing south up until now. Anyway, welcome back!
