| PAPER WASP'S NEST |
Thursday, 8:30 AM. 41 degrees F at the ferry dock, 38 on the back porch. Wind variable, calm with light gusts.. The sky is mostly clear, the humidity 74%, The barometer is steady at 30.31", predicting pleasant weather with seasonal temperatures until next Wednesday, when there is a possibility of rain.
We will plant the trees we brought from Northwoods Nursery this morning, after waiting for utilities to be marked. I know where all the lines are from previous markings of the property, but am disciplining myself to never put a shovel in the ground to plant a tree or a shrub without calling Digger's Hotline and waiting the three days for utilities to be marked. It is just too expensive to take a chance on hitting a shallow or unnoticed cable (my last experience cost $750}. Communication cables (TV, telephone, internet) are often very shallow.
The Bayfield fall continues to be beautiful, although leaves have been dropping for some days. Still time for some leaf-peeping!
The summer nests of paper wasps are abandoned by winter. They are beautiful natural objects, and if hung on the porch or deck next spring will keep other wasps and most hornets and bees away. They are usually high up in trees and difficult to reach, however.
