| APPLE TREES LOADED.... |
 |
| ....WITH RIPENING FRUIT
Sunday, 8:30 AM. 69 degrees F at the ferry dock, 64 on the back porch. Wind N, calm with light to moderate gusts. The sky has a high intermittent overcast with some clouds but plenty of sunshine, the humidity is a more comfortable at 77%, and the barometer is mostly steady, currently at 29.97". The highs are predicted be in the upper 70's next week, with a chance of a thunderstorm on Tuesday. It is a nice summer morning.
I took Buddy for a beach run this morning early as I don't want him to go AWOL again. The water was calm, the beach grass wet with dew.
A drive through the orchard country yesterday revealed the obvious; it's going to be a bumper apple crop this fall. The tree branches are bending to the breaking point, loaded with fruit. Some of the varieties are beginning to turn blush red already, and early varieties will be ripe soon. The sweet cherries are almost through, the blueberries still ripening and being picked. What a year for Bayfield's fruit growers!!
