Our springtime continues as I write today while more halfhearted snow flurries outside in wind gusts of up to 30 miles per hour and a temperature of 20° (F). That is to say, a wind chill of 05 °. Did I mention the Flood Watch and Gale Warning we’re under for this afternoon, Tra-La-La?
NONETHELESS, I’m enjoying the memory of yesterday, the first full sun day here since the vernal equinox. Of course, yesterday wasn’t perfect; it also was cold and windy. But, as I say, it was sunny and clear, which was enough for those of us who are spring-starved.
As for that sun, in the images above, you see the WoodenBoat School’s pier prodding the white caps of cold, clear Great Cove yesterday morning – no snow, no rain, no fog – but a little wind. The pier points to the Cove’s protective islands, Babson Island (aka “Big Babson”) and Little Babson Island. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on March 22, 2024.)
