Mother Nature is in one of her cruel moods. Yesterday morning, when this image of a rising tide in Great Cove was taken, she gave us a good glimpse of sunshine. (We had almost forgotten what it looked like after six days of fog, rain, and cloud.)
By yesterday afternoon, however, Mother was allowing only a weak glow to sneak through the overcast. This morning looks like a repeat of yesterday: the sun and clouds are pushing each other back and forth over the seascape, as we speak. The weather tellers predict that the clouds will win and that they’ll celebrate vindictively by raining on us. Better get outside when we can. (Brooklin, Maine)
