7/30/09 MEADOWSWEET




Thursday, 9:00 AM. 62 degrees, wind W, light with gusts. The channel is calm, the sky overcast. The barometer predicts partly cloudy skies.
The dogs have all had their run, and the families are going to look for the Lost Creek waterfall west of Cornucopia.
The meadow sweet spirea, Spirea alba, is in bloom at the beach. A member of the rose family, it is sweetly scented and a not uncommon shrub of wet places. Although many spireas have herbal uses, I see none listed for this one, however I suspect it might make a nice tea.
