Tuesday, 7:30 AM. 57 degrees, wind WNW, light with stronger gusts. The channel is wrinkled, the sky is clear and the barometer predicts sunny skies.
The native asters, in the Composite family, are beginning to bloom, a sure sign of an advancing summer. The big-leaf aster, Aster macrophyllus, is one of the first and showiest. It is a woods and woods-edge plant, its large basal rosette leaves often forming large under story colonies.
The tree board did yeoman’s work yesterday, trimming branches from in front of signs along Manypenny Ave. downtown. Without the volunteers, this type of work would not get done.
