Sunday, 9:00 AM. 64 degrees, wind SW, strong. The sky is mostly overcast and the barometer predicts rain. The rain gauge shows .2” of rain from yesterday’s showers.
The plant with the tubular yellow flowers is bush honeysuckle, Diervilla lonicera, a native under story shrub of our northern woods. I found it up the hill on Old Military Road.
The beach walk this morning was pleasant, the bay sheltered in the lee of the wind. The white flowered plant is northern dewberry, Rubus flagellaris, a native bramble in the rose family. It does a good job of helping to stabilize the dunes, and when the berries are ripe I will try to beat the birds to a few.
