Posting early today; whimsy I guess. Rain came in overnight, drippy and good for the plants, although the accompanying cool temps slow them down.

When you’re inhabiting a small house, your living space extends to the out-of-doors, so you watch the weather a lot (or maybe I’m just talking me here). The breeze is kicking up a tad, but the lake still merely has riffles. Inbound, not offshore.

Anyway, the lupines are showing off another of their talents by catching water droplets in their leaves.

    I absolutely agree about extending living spaces outside. Our cabin is very small and was even smaller when I was a kid and we didn’t have the upstairs. Absolutely essential to have an adjacent forest and beach. Unfortunately, that philosophy doesn’t work too well when it’s -10 Fahrenheit (-;
