Friday, 8:00 AM. 10 degrees, wind E, calm. Barometer down, predicting partly cloudy skies. Skies currently mostly blue with scattered high clouds and haze.
No sap run yesterday, and probably none today. We have to have some warmer weather! About 40 or 50 gallons of sap has been boiled down so far.
It is obvious now that the aspens are blooming in earnest. The daffodils are up an inch or two where the snow has melted. The approaches to the ice road are getting rotten and the ice road will probably close soon, even if the main channel still has several feet of ice.
About Me
- Art Ode, The Conservative Environmentalist
- Bayfield, Wisconsin, United States
- I am semi-retired after a long career in botanical garden and arboretum management. We have lived and worked in WI, NY, NE an OH, and love this big, bold country of ours, where anyone with a desire to educate themselves and work hard can succeed. I have nearly quit calling myself an environmentalist, since I consider the once proud term to have been hijacked by too many persons and causes that are little more than left wing apologists with their own, usually unscientific and anti-democracy agendas. And nobody understands what a "Conservationist" is anymore. Hence the "Conservative Environmentalist." I Currently work as a horticulture consultant, designing and installing landscapes and gardens locally and elsewhere. I also serve as the (volunteer) Forester for the City of Bayfield, and am a member of the State of Wisconsin Urban Forestry Advisory Council.
