4/14/11 THE SAP RUNS WHILE THE DAFFODILS SHIVER

A TOSS-UP DAY

WILDFLOWER WOODS GREENHOUSE

SHIVERING DAFFODIL
Thursday, 8:00 AM.  26 degrees, wind NW, blustery and changeable.  The sky is overcast but the barometer predicts sunny skies.
    Andy and Judy are still collecting sap, at least for a few more days, and this change in the weather should produce another run.  They have plenty of help at present (including son Eric, who’s North Pole talk at Northland College  yesterday we unfortunately missed).  I have been busy with bids and proposals so have not had time to do much else.
    We stopped at Wildflower Woods Nursery in the Washburn outback yesterday.  Owner Becky Brown has a nice selection of native wildflowers, sedges and grasses, and collects the seeds mostly locally.
    There are a few daffodils just beginning to bloom, and in a week of decent weather they will be blooming by the thousands all over Bayfield.  The sap runs while the daffodils shiver.
