....THREE YEARS OLD
Wednesday, 8:00 AM. 55 degrees F, wind W, calm with occasional very light gusts. The sky is partly cloudy, the humidity is 88% and the barometer is steady, at 30.2".
Fall colors and beautiful weather encourage a person to just immerse oneself in the glories of nature. It is time for walks on the beach, hiking down a woods trail with gun and dog, or driving with the top down. Fall is an ephemeral season in the Bayfield region and can change to rain and cold weather, even ice and snow, in a trice, so now is the time to enjoy the Northland, one fine day at a time.
This is also the time of year that the pine trees shed their old needles, I think in most northern species needles that are three years old. As the tree grows the inner leaves find less and less sun, and become superfluous and are shed. Nature has little patience with useless things.
