FALL COLOR WILL BE AT ITS PEAK FOR NEXT WEEKEND'S APPLEFEST

RED OAKS ARE COLORING UP...

...ALSO SUGAR MAPLES

Saturday, 8:30 AM.  63 degrees F at the ferry dock, 58 on the back porch. Wind WSW, mostly calm with occasional light to moderate gusts.  The waters of the channel are calm.  The sky is clear, with haze over the lake.  The humidity is a more comfortable 78% and the barometer is trending down, now at 30.16".  It will be another gorgeous fall day.
   The hummingbirds are all gone now, and the feeders washed and put away.  They leave on or about the 15th of September and the males come back pretty much on the 15th of May.
   Fall color in our region is at its peak when sugar maples, and finally red oaks are in full color, and that time is approaching fast.  My prediction is that peak color this fall will coincide with Bayfield's  Applefest next weekend.  The weather prediction for next weekend keeps shifting, so keep your fingers crossed for a dry and sunny Applefest.
   Come visit if you can, the "everything apples" food and all the hoopla is great fun and the Sunday parade is spectacular.
   Bayfield Applefest: October 3rd,  4th and 5th.
