| ...DITTO |
Wednesday, 7:00 AM. 54 degrees, wind WSW, very strong. The sky is partly cloudy and the barometer predicts sunny skies. We had a high move in yesterday afternoon that has brought sustained, very high winds with it. I haven’t seen any real damage here so far, but the wind conditions have been pretty severe. Wind W turning toward S produced high, very choppy waves on the channel. Kayakers who insist on going out in this kind of sea are, in my opinion, simply suicidal, and I hope the one pictured did not venture beyond the minimal shelter of the ferry landing.
Flowering crab apples are such important landscape trees that I will present them as they come into bloom, not by name because the varieties are, as I have said myriad, but just to give an idea of their beauty and diversity of bloom and form.
The weather has held up nursery shipments, we have a spate of landscape work to do in the next few days, and I must tend to the task. I go ahead of the crew to lay out the work, then stay in touch to supervise.
