Rain starting about 3 a.m. and continuing steadily, sometimes heavily, until about 6 p.m. Not like the flooding in Texas, but a lot of water, and once again the swales are full and the rivulets running. Accord to the radar, this was a huge band of precipitation moving all the way up the Great Lakes from Chicago to the Sault, and from Duluth to Toronto, so there may be some impact on the water levels.

I can say that, with the minor exception of Pax (who seems to be adjusting), we enjoyed it . There's a lot to be said for lying in bed, listening to rain on the roof—and thinking the best time to get up would be later. Our nice slow start lasted almost until nap time, after which not a whole lot got done.

And, interestingly, as we approach the summer solstice it is instructive to notice the effect of latitude on time, specifically the benefits of being north. Here's the list: in Kagawong we have 15.17 hours of daylight as of today; in Whitewater the number is 14.57; and in Rockport the number is 13.42. So, in mathematical terms, we here on the shores of Lake Huron's North Channel have six tenths of an hour (or 36 minutes) more day than Whitewater, and one and three quarters hours more than Rockport. Time for everyone to get their arses up here. Eh?
