Saturday, 8:30 AM. 40 degrees, wind WSW, light. The channel is lightly wrinkled, the sky is blue but overcast in the SW, and the barometer predicts sunny skies. It is a cool but beautiful morning.
The Viburum genus is full of highly decorative shrubs and small trees, native and non-native. The old-fashioned snowball bush, Viburnum opulus ‘sterilis’, of European origin, s growing in neighbor Cindy’s yard. It is spectacular at present, and was much used in Victorian landscapes.
A wren has again set up housekeeping in the red gourd in the apple tree. She chatters and flits about constantly, a real little (Victorian?)busybody.
