BASSWOOD ISLAND AS SEEN FROM THE BEACH
RED BUCKEYE BLOOM
RED BUCKEYE AS A WELCOMING STREET TREESunday, 8:30 “AM. 51 degrees, wind W, light to moderate. The sky is overcast and there is another .25” of rain in the gage. The barometer predicts sunny weather.
Lucky and I went to the beach this morning. It was blustery but nice. The dark, low clouds scudded across the islands, offering a real seascape.
The red buckeye is a grafted tree, I don’t know its derivation, but it is completely hardy with us and I have planted an alle’ of them on sixth street (Hwy 13) coming into town from the south, and in a few years they will provide a spectacular welcome, blooming just after the flowering crab trees.
