LONG MAY IT WAVE
HIGH BUSH CRANBERRY
PAGODA DOGWOOD
MOUNTAIN MAPLEMonday, Memorial Day, 7:30 AM. 54 degrees, wind light, from the NW at ground level, and from the SW at cloud level. The barometer predicts sunshine but we need rain.
Alternate-leaved, or pagoda dogwood (Cornus alternifolia) is a handsome shrub or small tree native to mostly northern and eastern US dry woods and rocky slopes.
Mountain maple (Acer spicatum) is similar in aspect, range and habitat.
High bush cranberry (Viburnum trilobum) is a shrub native to cool woods of the upper Midwest and eastern US and southern Canada. It is not a cranberry but its red berries are edible and used for preserves.
Let us remember to take time today to thank God and our fallen comrades for the freedoms we yet enjoy, and pledge ourselves to the preservation of our Constitution and its ideals.
