June 9 – 3 days in, 3 to go

Today marked the mid-point of our season opening trip.

Traditional keeper’s logs often reported on the weather and volunteer Barb Falkenhagen does it well with these entries she recorded:

“6 am 48° and cloudy but no wind…..

Temp at lunch was 66° with no wind, but the weatherman predicted thunderstorms between 2 and 4. We got the thunder, but nothing more than a few sprinkles. About 3 pm the temp started to drop. By 6 pm it was 60° and very windy…..

It is now 9:42pm. The outside temp is 51, the barometer is 29.90 and steady and it is pouring. It’s supposed to rain until midnight.

It is almost a full moon, but we can’t see it because of the clouds.”

The team continued with brush work, repairing the workshop/summer kitchen door and covered the broken tower window.

Flowers abound this time of year. Here’s a sample of what’s currently blossoming.
