Thursday, 7:30 AM. 48 degrees, wind ENE, calm. The sky is overcast, and earlier fog has lifted. The barometer predicts rain.We got a lot of rain yesterday, over an inch, and the ditches are running brim-full. It was a dark and stormy night, as they say, the dog nervous from the thunder and lightning and coming alternately to Joan and me for reassurance. No damage seems to have been done, and the lake level should be rising. The temperature has risen a full ten degrees since last night, when I was almost fearful of a frost.
The perennial garden got a passable weeding during the rain yesterday, and I will try to cut down some daffodils and further clean things up today. The wrens are protesting my presence on the porch but they will just have to get used to sharing.
