Saturday, 8:30 AM. 48 degrees F, up from 42 earlier. The sky is mostly clear with some haze. The humidity is 38%, the lowest I have seen it since last fall, perhaps longer, and my joints appreciate it immensely. The barometer is trending down, now at 29.99" presaging some rain on Monday.
Yesterday was a busy day, starting with the planting of the Arbor Day Tree at the city marina. The Bayfield Elementary School fourth grade class helped to plant the tree, a 'Red Baron' flowering crab apple. The class also wrote a poem for the occasion, which was read by one of the students. The kids were well behaved and attentive, as usual. It didn't rain or snow, even if it was a little chilly at the lake shore.
The Mayor read the annual Arbor Day proclamation, and promised to fly the new Arbor Day flag at City Hall.
The Bayfield in Bloom kickoff, with a live broadcast of Wisconsin Public Radio's Garden Talk radio show, followed at the pavilion, but more about that tomorrow.
