It’s overcast early this morning, but there’s still a chance that the clouds will break today. That’s okay; we’ve just had a four-day spate of sparkling Maine weather – big blue skies, wincingly-full sun, temperatures at the thrill point. Those days mostly have dried up the pooled water and mud in the woods from many prior rains.
In the mixed wood portion of the forests, the leaves of a few of the deciduous trees are starting to turn color and there usually are one or two early-sailing leaves to track on erratic journeys to destiny. Things are looking good. (Image taken in Brooklin, Maine, on September 27, 2023.)
