| A BASKET OF CORTLAND APPLES |
Monday, 9:00 AM. 63 degrees F at the ferry dock, 60 on the back porch. Wind SSW, light with stronger gusts. The sky is cloudless, the humidity 80%. The barometer is rising fast, now at 29.85". Weather should be great until chances of rain towards the weekend.
We bought Bayfield apples on Saturday; Cortlands, the earliest of the major varieties grown here.
Next to Macintosh, I like them best. It is a truly bumper crop for all varieties this fall, trees are bowing to the ground, heavy with ripening fruit.
I have seen no hummingbirds for several days, and I believe they have left for warmer climes. I did see a gorgeous redstart, flitting like a butterfly though the gardens, as the fall warbler migration continues.
TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT!
