LUPINES ARE STILL BLOOMING, BUT FADING FAST

A LARGE FIELD OF LUPINES STILL IN BLOOM ON HWY. 13 NORTH OF WASHBURN

Monday, 7:30 AM.  63 degrees F at the ferry dock, 61 on the back porch.  Wind SW, calm to very light.  The sky is mostly cloudy and the humidity is 95%  The barometer is still falling, currently at 29.76", and we are likely to get a thunderstorm this afternoon.
   Lupines are still blooming, including the above large field of flowers on Hw. 13, just north of Washburn.   They were still a good show this past weekend, but will be mostly faded and gone by the 4th of July.  By then, however, we will have enjoyed them for a good month; something of a record, I should think.
   When I took the above photo yesterday, we were the third vehicle in line to do so.  Tourists do indeed love this fine annual floral display.
