Saturday, 9:00 AM. 65 degrees, wind WNW, light. The channel is calm, dimpled by the gentle rain that is falling from an overcast sky. The barometer predicts rain, so it may be a rainy weekend, after several days of barometric predictions of the same.
Hwy. J, the orchard route, is fantastic with roadside wildflowers. There are acres of yellow Coreopsis in bloom on the north end of J, just past The Bayfield Apple Co. An anomaly that blooms every year there is a self-seeding variety of Verbena peruviana, a flower farm escapee from years ago. Purists will decry this foreign intrusion but the effect is startlingly beautiful. There are other flowers in the mix, including the purple American vetch.
