TIME, TIDE AND SPRING WAIT FOR NO MAN

SPRING STILL ON HOLD

Thursday, 9:45 AM.  40 degrees, wind ENE, light with stronger gusts.  The sky is a cobalt blue with a few scattered powder puff clouds. The humidity is 79% and the barometer is somewhat steady, currently at 30.17".  The consistent northerly winds, which bring cold air off the big lake, are keeping spring on hold.
   Which is O.K., actually, as the daffodil display should now last at least until May 15, which is the Bayfield in Bloom kickoff at the pavilion, with the annual Garden Talk radio show.  The town will be all decked out for the event.
  Oil change and tune-up accomplished, we need to get back to springtime activities, including a Tree Board meeting tomorrow morning during which we will pull tree stakes from trees planted the last several springs. More on that tomorrow.
  Plus, we have a planting job to do tomorrow.  We brought the native grasses from the nursery last Friday, and will pick up perennials from Hauser's in Bayfield this morning.  I am on light duty for a while and have enlisted my usual help for all of this.
   Time, tide and spring wait for no man.
