BAYFIELD IN BLOOM KICKOFF TODAY!

BAYFIELD'S DAFFODILS ALL READY FOR BAYFIELD IN BLOOM

Friday, 8:00 AM.  45 degrees F at the ferry dock, 44 on the back porch.  Wind variable and calm at present.  The sky is mostly clear, with some haze.  The barometer is falling gently, currently at 30.69" of mercury.  The forecast predicts mostly clear skies with temperatures in the 60's and 50's today through Monday, with chances of thunderstorms by Wednesday and Thursday.
   Friday is the Bayfield In Bloom kickoff at the Bayfield Pavilion on the city dock.  The day starts with an Arbor Day tree planting at lakefront Memorial Park at 9:00 AM, with Bayfield fourth graders helping to plant the tree.
   The Arbor Day tree, an Autumn Blaze hybrid red maple, will be dedicated to arborist Jay Cablk, owner of Jay's Tree Care, who died tragically in January while taking down a hazardous tree.  Jay did much of the city's tree work, and is sadly missed.
   There will be displays by local green industry businesses and environmental groups and agencies at the Pavilion in the morning, and the popular  Garden Talk Radio Show, hosted by Larry Meiller, will be broadcast live, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM.
   If you can't make it in person, tune in to the garden show on Wisconsin Public Radio, it is always interesting and a lot of fun.
