Above: The lure of the road end, Wednesday.

Good Morning!

Friday will be partly sunny, with a high near 63. There’s a 40 percent chance of showers before noon on Saturday, with mostly cloudy skies throughout the day and a high near 66.

• There are few people more in tune with human interaction with the natural world than farmers, whose days begin before sunup and often continue well into the night, working their plots of land and watching out for signs that something is askew in their microcosm of the world. This week, we take an exclusive look at new ideas and ongoing hardships for local farmers in our special report: Farmers and Canaries: An Ear to the Cry of the Natural World.
