Saturday, 8:30 AM. 42 degrees F, wind variable, mostly northerly, calm with light gusts. We are enveloped in dense fog, but it has started to clear. The humidity is 96%, the barometer more or less steady at 30.07".
Yesterday morning started out with the Bayfield Arbor Day tree planting at the City Marina. As usual, the tree was planted with the help of the Bayfield Elementary School Fourth Grade Class. I was pleased as always with the courteous and attentive children. Don Kissinger, Urban Forester for northern Wisconsin, instructed the class; Tree Board Member Howard Paap read an appropriate poem, and Mayor Larry MacDonald read the Arbor Day proclamation. Bayfield received a special Arbor Day flag to celebrate its fifteen years as a Tree City USA, and the special recognition of a Growth Award for its efforts in urban forestry, one of only fifteen such awards given out among the 195 Tree City USA communities in the state for 2014. Wisconsin has the second highest number of Tree City USA communities, after first place Ohio, which has a much larger population.
The "Garden Talk" live radio show at Bayfield's Pavilion went very well yesterday, with the largest live audience we have ever had in attendance. The hour-and-one-half show broadcast on Wisconsin Public Radio went by in a flash, and was a lot of fun to do.
It seems the city is always in the throws of major road and infrastructure construction during the Bayfield in Bloom Kickoff, but the daffodils were still looking good in the fog and mist, the town was full of people, and everything went well, so we can count the day a considerable success, despite some inconveniences.
