EARLY APPLES RIPENING ON AN OLD TREE
LARGE-LEAVED ASTERFriday, 8:00 AM. 72 degrees, wind SW, light. The sky was overcast and misty earlier but it is rapidly clearing and it will be a nice day. The barometer predicts partly cloudy skies.
We spied a first blossom of the large-leaved Aster, A. macrophyllus, this morning. Soon the woods will be full of their flowers, with their large leaves covering the forest floor in many places. We are seeing ripening of the first of the early apples, mostly on old trees of dubious lineage.
Judy’s Gourmet Garage, on the south edge of town on Hwy 13, suffered a break-in of major proportions a few nights ago. No money was taken, but all the rising dough for the next day’s baking was gone, as well as all the pies in the pastry case. The police are investigating. Meanwhile, Mike at the Seagull Bay Motel a block away reports a large bear has been sleeping in his dumpster during the day. Mystery abounds! Where is the Pink Panther when we need him?
