Rain Day

Former boardwalk, which was washed away last fall by high water and big waves. It spent the winter roped alongside the high water mark, and now it is being repurposed, although we don't as yet know quite how. What we do know, it that in its original form it was way too heavy for any six of us.

Here is where the boardwalk used to be, balanced on the various rocks leading out to the exposed reef. We don't think it is possible to reposition it and get it up high enough to resist the surf, in our new higher-water regime. From the reef out was (and may be again) the pier.

Chilly, gray, and damp. A small fire in the stove felt good.

Lovely rain all day, sometimes quite heavy. The swales are surfeited and the rivulets running. Now the green fire will truly ignite. Oddly, Pax seems to have adapted somewhat, and has not freaked out. Perhaps, someday, he will join me in my love of rain.
