7/09/10 ROADSIDES

ANOTHR NICE DAY
BEACH PEAS ALONG HWY J
NEW SUMAC SEED HEADS

Friday, 7:15 AM. 66 degrees, wind W, calm. The sky is mostly clear but the barometer again predicts rain.
Hwy J has some spectacular displays of pink, crimson and white beach peas.
The female staghorn sumac shrubs are developing their seed heads, which now are a soft pink but will soon turn deep red-purple.
The American chestnut on 10th and Manypenny is in bloom, the the flowers smelling like a newly turned furrow.
Joan and I are heading to the Milwaukee area again today to attend the 50th Wedding Anniversary of old friends Bill and Allene Peebles in Oconomowoc. We will stay with my cousin Susie in Elm Grove for two nights. Lucky will stay again with the Ringbergs across the street. So, no blog entries for a few days. We will be seeing a lot of now familiar roadsides, but they are always changing.
