We have gotten into a very wet weather pattern for August. We are having showers or thunderstorms on a regular basis. Not our usual bone dry August, in fact it seems amazing that only a month ago we were watering the garden almost every day and talking about how dry it was getting. This is after all New England and if you don’t like the weather just wait a minute and it will change.
After an almost perfect day yesterday the skies clouded up this morning and the rain started at around 10. It has been very dry so we can use a little moisture to keep the garden’s going even if it does make the lawn grow. In the last week I have done more mackerel fishing than I have in a long time. Here is the view looking back at Port Clyde yesterday afternoon. I am sure you will agree that it was nearly a perfect day.
The end of this week is marked by an unsettled weather pattern. The pattern can best be described as afternoon and evening thundershowers and morning fog that leaves the air feeling damp all day. Luckily it is not too hot. Yesterday I was able to get in my morning striper trip and even mow the lawn in the early afternoon, before the rain started. This morning I awoke to the sound of rain on the leaves of the trees outside my windows and even though the rain was over by 7AM my morning canoe trip called to cancel.
