The Day After

Mornin'! We made it through. It's over. The "day after" depression is now seeping in. It's time to reflect on this day last year and the blizzard we were experiencing right about now with tons of snow covering the island and all the shoveling yet to be done. I'm feeling lighter and happier already. I had a lovely Christmas and am still enjoying it. The weather this year was the perfect accompaniment for the celebration as it was lovely throughout the entire holiday weekend. Today begins with brisk temps...38° now but heading into the upper 40's. It's currently a bit brisk and breezy as the NW winds are gusting up to 35mph. By nightfall, the winds will dissipate. The sun's up and will hang around all day keeping the island shiny and bright. Something else shiny and bright...our future daughter-in-law's engagement ring as she accepted our son's surprise wedding proposal for Christmas! High tide:8:17a.m.; Low tide:2:45p.m.; Ocean temp:51°; Sunset:4:45p.m. Life is good! 85 days until Spring!
