5/22/11 RIVER, ROADSIDES AND ORCHARDS IN THE FOG AND RAIN

FOGGY RIVER

WASHBURN THEATER

MARSH MARIGOLDS AND JUNEBERRIES

JUNEBERRY ROADSIDE

CHERRY ORCHARD
Sunday, 9:00 AM.  56.5 degrees, wind SSW, very light.  There was dense fog earlier and it still has not lifted completely, but will eventually.  The beach was foggy and quiet this morning except for the rhythmic lapping of waves,  their impetus engendered far out somewhere on the great lake.  The fog horns sound even now.  The barometer is still down.  This has been the most beautiful, if cool, spring we have experienced here in Bayfield, with bulbs, early spring flowers, flowering trees, everything blooming at once, except for the apples and flowering crab trees,  yet to enter the stage.
    Speaking of the stage, we had a good time at the Stage North theater in Washburn last evening, seeing the play “Moon Over Buffalo,” a true farce, with every site gag, pratfall and one liner known to playwrites.  There is a lot of talent in the area, and the theater experience is enhanced by recognizing many of the actors and actresses on stage.
    The countryside was in full bloom yesterday afternoon as we toured the orchard roads in the rain.  The cherry crop should be a good one this year, the trees now in full bloom and the danger of frost mostly over.  Commercial sweet cherries are not successful here every year but can be  profitable overall.
