Sunday, 9:00 AM. 43 degrees, wind NE, moderate with stronger gusts. The sky is overcast and we got .25 inch of rain last night. The barometer predicts sunshine.
The surf was up at the beach, but it was a hands-in-the-pockets morning. The diminutive sand cherry bushes, Prunus pumila, are blooming on the dunes, as is the native black cherry tree, Prunus serotina, which is much larger and more floriferous. A lot of other beach dune plants, including native roses, will bloom soon and I will catalog them as I have the opportunity. Sand dunes are a harsh and ever-changing environment, and something is always coming or going.
