Yesterday was a perfect summer day. Warm but not hot, clear followed by a cloudless warm evening. This morning dawned foggy and cool but by mid morning the fog had lifted and the sea breeze was strengthening. Clouds began to cover the sky heralding another evening of rain showers.
Today is the day that marks the change from fall to winter. It usually arrives right around Thanksgiving here on the Maine coast. Yesterday was warm and windy with plenty of rain. Argy and I went to Bar Harbor to help Noah get the first coat of epoxy resin on his strip built canoe. On our return trip the wind had shifted into the west and was blowing sharply. As the air dried out the temperature dropped. Snow showers are forecast for the next day or so.
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.
