| MORNING AFTER THE SORM... |
 |
| SAND AND SILT WASHED OUT FROM PIKE'S CREEK |
 |
| STAR FLOWER |
Friday, 9:00 AM. Wind W, moderate, perhaps 5-10 MPH.
The sky is mostly clear. The barometer predicts sunny skies. We had torrential rains yesterday and last night, at least several additional inches of rain fell. Pikes Creek, south of town, is overflowing its banks, and has sent a tail of silt and sand out into the bay several miles, clearly visible from Bayfield.
Taking Buddy for a run on Old San Road this morning I came across a colony of star flowers, Trientalis borealis, in the Primrose family. As its species Latin name implies it is a plant of the far north, found mainly in wet areas.
There have been very large flights of geese of late, sometimes hundreds at a time, flying in perfect V formation. I have been told there is a good migration of spring warblers but haven’t been looking for them myself.
The Chamber of Commerce had a night out last night hosted by the new casino in Red Cliff, Legendary Waters. The food was really excellent and their banquet and conference facilities are very nice and will be a boon to Bayfield, which has none at all.
