Ed Dallas's observations

Phenology is the biological nature of events as they relate to climate.  Each week John Latimer takes a close look at the blooms and changes happening in nature and considers how the timing measures up to past years.  We were thrilled to hear from August in Shevlin this week as well as kids attending the Mesaba Co-op Kids Camp!  Ed Dallas returned from a getaway and had lots of observations and of course John Latimer takes us in-depth on the blooms and happenings in the woods this week! 

As always, we love to hear what our listeners are noticing out in nature.  Give us a call at 218.999.9876 and let us know what is happening around your place.  You can also send an email directly to John.  Either way, we want to hear from you!

As a mail carrier in rural Grand Rapids, Minn., for 35 years, John Latimer put his own stamp on a career that delivered more than letters. Indeed, while driving the hundred-mile round-trip daily route, he passed the time by observing and recording seasonal changes in nature, learning everything he could about the area’s weather, plants and animals, and becoming the go-to guy who could answer customers’ questions about what they were seeing in the environment.
