We have had a fine visit with old friends Dave and Betty Craig, who leave for southern Wisconsin this morning and then on back home to Tennessee. We showed them the Bayfield orchards, bought fresh strawberries and maple syrup, and took them to the Northern Great Lakes Visitors Center. We reminisced long ago good times on the Craig family farm near Waukesha Wisconsin.We ate lunch at the Bayfield Inn, which has wonderful views of the harbor and Madeline Island.

The fields in the orchard country have suddenly turned golden with Coreopsis, There are several native species and a number of horticultural selections. I believe ours are the perennial Coreopsis lanceola. There also is the annual Coreopsis tinctoria, a native wildflower still used to make a natural yellow dye.
