| A WHITE ASH COLORING UP |
 |
| SUMACS ARE CHANGING |
 |
| FERNS ARE YELLOWING |
 |
| AND A RED MAPLE PREDICTS RAIN |
Friday, 8:15 AM. 57 degrees F at the ferry dock, 50 on the back porch. The wind is SSW with occasional moderate gusts. The sky is mostly overcast and the humidity is 89%. The barometer is falling rapidly, the red maple tree leaves turning over in response (remember the old lake sailor's warning, "When the hills turn gray, head for port."We will likely get some thunderstorms today.
The colors are changing almost overnight. White ash leaves are turning purple, woods ferns are yellowing and the sumac are turning, first orange streaked with crimson and finally blood red. We noticed the sumac turning all over the state on our recent trip.
We have been busy the last several day with Joan's cataract surgery, which at this point seems to be progressing perfectly. The patch comes off this morning and hopefully her vision in one eye will be clear, and then the other can be done in a few weeks, Cataract surgery is a modern wonder. When I was a child elderly people usually went slowly blind. Humans are truly base creatures, killing each other over little or nothing and making each other miserable, while being totally unthankful for all the advancements of science and medicine that are transforming their worthless lives.
