| THOR AND HIS HAMMER |
 |
| LARGE WHITE PINE ON THE LAKESHORE... |
 |
| ...ITS TOP TURNED TO MATCHWOOD |
 |
| BIG RED OAK ON HWY. 13... |
 |
| ....STRIPPED OF ITS BARK |
Wednesday, 7:45 AM. 53 degrees F on the back porch, 57 at the ferry dock.The sky is clear with considerable morning fog over the water. The humidity is 91% after getting a half inch of rain in a downpour yesterday evening. The barometer has risen to 30.06" and we should have some nice weather the rest of the week.
Thor, the ancient Norse god of thunder and lightning, has been busy wielding his hammer in the Bayfield area the last few days. A big white pine just off of Chequamegon Road has been blasted, and the bark was exploded off of a large red oak along Hwy. 13 north of the Rez. Amazingly, the branches are still full of green leaves (which will soon wither and die).
Don't believe the old wives tale about lightening never striking in the same place twice: our well head in New York was struck numerous times in the twelve plus years we lived there. Anyway, don't sit under the apple tree, or any other tree, during a thunderstorm.
