A Nice Sunday

9:58 a.m. observations:

29.00" of Hg pressure and steady;
71.2 degrees F and rising;
50% humidity and steady;
0.00" of rain;
0 MPH wind, with an occasional breeze;
No reading on the Cascades Brook (the trickle is too far away from the stream gauge);
Blue skies with clouds and sun mixed;
The USFS Forest Fire Danger is NONE.

The brook is pretty low, reduced to just a trickle. Lots of bare angular rock sitting there waiting for more water.

Lots of flowers and wild flowers around the lodge. Small yellow flowers on stalks, daisy like flowers, pink/purple clover, darker purple tiny low level flowers, a red rose bud on the way.

Also out back the ancient apple tree is responding well to all the other tree branches that broke off in the ice storm a year ago. We have a number of apples in process.

There are plenty of chattering noises out there, with birds and squirrels and such.

A few hikers have gone by that I have noticed, who knows how many I haven't.
