| YESTERDAY'S CLOUDS |

| RAGWEED |
Thursday, 8:30 AM. 63 degrees F at the ferry dock, 59 0n the back porch. Wind NE, calm with moderate gusts. Sky partly cloudy, humidity 81%, barometer 30.31" and steady. Chance of a thunderstorm on Monday.
I have joined the ranks of "hay fever" sufferers...sneezing, and dealing with a runny nose. It's not caused by golden rod or other insect pollinated plants. Right now the culprit is rag weed, Ambrosia species of the Sunflower Family. And like it or not, they are North American natives, can't blame it on another hemisphere. Ragweed is wind pollinated, the small green flowers emitting a constant barrage of fine pollen grains over a long season. To make matters worse, it can be mowed very short and still flower prolifically.
Achoo!
