| PAGODA DOGWOOD |
 |
| ...IN FULL BLOOM |
Wednesday, 8:30 AM. 59 degrees F, wind N, light with stronger gusts. the sky is partly overcast, the barometer is trending down but I don’t think it will rain. The lawn needs mowing, and Buddy needs a bath because he ran off and found a mud hole.
Pagoda dogwoods, Cornus alternatfolia, are in full bloom along the woods edge on 9th Street, between Old Military and Wilson. A handsome and unusual small tree when well grown and healthy, they can be problematical. Search this blog for more information.
Scott Walker and his Lieutenant Governor won the recall election handily, 53% to the challengers’ 46 %. Three Republican senators also won recall elections. 2.5 million voters turned out for the historic election. Only three governors had been recalled previously in all of US history, Walker the first to survive. There remains one recall of a Republican senator still undetermined at this time as the vote is still too close to call. If he loses the Republicans would loose control of the Senate by one vote. But overall it is a resounding victory, as Scott Walker said last night, “for Faith, Family and Freedom.” I think that a good motto for the November election.
