One of the great things about living where we can see an expanse of sky is that some mornings the day’s weather is clearly spelled out for me. One morning last month I looked out at this sunrise from the front deck and it is very clear that we are in for a day of rain. As the old rhyme goes red sky in morning old guide take warning.
Yesterday was the most perfect fall day that I can remember. Except for a breeze in the morning it was clear and cool. I noticed that there was not a cloud in the sky anywhere on the horizon. I took my clients to the top of Clary Hill to take in the view and the White Mountains were clearly visible in the distance as well as Mount Blue and the group around Sugarloaf, all of them standing out bright white against a perfect blue sky. The snow of early this week showing very plainly at the higher elevations.
Spending time in the North Maine Woods usually means that you see a few moose when you are travelling around. This year I seemed to see more than usual some when I needed them most for clients to see and one that was most unusual.
