| LUPINES...WORTH A TRIP |
The lupines (Lupinus perennis) will be blooming all along the roadsides and in fields shortly. They should be worth seeing by this coming weekend, and at their peak the next. Depending upon the weather the lupine display can last three weeks, and are really worth a trip to Bayfield and the south shore of Lake Superior. Search older blogs for more Lupine lore.
The yellow-flowered Oregon grape holly in the herb garden, (Mahonia aqifolium) again came through the winter pretty well, with only a few damaged leaves. Its spikes of bright yellow flowers attract bees and butterflies, and its glossy holly-like foliage is a welcome contrast in the landscape. It is a native of the Pacific Northwest, hardy to zone 5. It is said to have been brought back east by the Lewis and Clark expedition
A number of Catholic institutions are bringing suit against the Obama administration for its health care mandates. They include some awfully good law schools. This is a virtually unnecessary confrontation, brought about purposely, it would seem, by the government. Which is, I would think, in enough legal trouble already without this issue.
