Steady rain most of the night and well into the morning, necessitating a late rising. Cold and damp, necessitating a good fire in the stove. North wind with big, pounding surf.

Necessitating a trip to the marina to check on the boats, only to be blocked by a cordon of turkeys. (Possibly, someday, Cordon Bleu turkeys, eh?)

Then an afternoon of sunshowers—first sun, then showers.

Ultimately, we hope, leading into a perfectly clear night—solar storms may be producing substantial aurora borealis.
