Good Morning
12/17/25 6:15 43F (6.1C) Clouds and ferocious wind gusts. It is dark. No hot tub this morning. We woke up at 2:00 and found the power out. It is still out now. There were rain squalls all night. Terrific blasts of wind pelted the house with debris....
Good Morning
12/16/25 5:45 50F (10C) Dark and rainy, with the wind dropping off. A hard rain is pelting down, rattling in the drain pipe, splashing through the muddy turf. In between the fog and clouds rests a thin band of not quite light, a slightly brighter shade of gray ...
Good Morning

Good Morning
12/11/25 6:00 58F (14.4C) Dry, blustery, dark. A warm wind soughs through the trees, not steady, but regular, like the huffing gasps of a man climbing a steep hill. Mid transit, high in the south, the half moon glows through a thin gauze of clouds. Over...
Good Morning
12/10/25 6:30 58F (14.4C) Wild, warm, and windy. The moon, waning towards half, is playing hide and seek in the clouds. It is blowing hard. Maple seeds spiral to the ground and the few remaining oak leaves are ripped from their branches. Warm wind...
Good Morning
12/9/25 5:45 48F (8.8C) Raining. The waning moon, three quarters full, shines dolly through the clouds above the lodge poles. It is a dark, sodden morning. ...
