5/25/10 A NICE DAY FOR A LITTLE TRIP

GOOD WEATHER
GOOD JOB ON THE BASKETS, ART
UPSIDE DOWN TOMATO BASKET
VIBURNUM 'MOHICAN'
MOUNTAIN ASH, SOBUS DECORA

Tuesday, 6:45 AM. 60 degrees, wind W, calm. The sky is mostly clear with some haze over the lake. The barometer predicts mostly sunny weather.
The handsome tree is a mountain ash native to the Great Lakes region, Sorbus decora. I think it a better landscape tree than the European mountain ash or the American mountain ash, but all are useful and often hard to tell apart.
The Viburnum genus is mostly hardy, beautiful and useful, this being a hybrid, V. ‘Mohican.’
The baskets and pots are all done and the porch will now be our outdoor living room for the summer. Andy and Judy gave us one of those upside down tomato planters; it was a lot of work to put it together but we look forward to lots and lots of tomatoes.
We leave after breakfast for an all day trip to our wholesale nursery in Rhinelander. It should be a nice ride in the new truck
