Sunday, 9:30 AM. 22 degrees F at the ferry dock, 19 on the back porch. Wind N, light with a few stronger gusts. The sky is again overcast and cloudy, the humidity 80%, but it is not snowing. The barometer is still rising, now at 29.89". Highs today will be in the low twenties, with sunshine in the afternoon; then a bit warmer with snow flurries tomorrow, with a wintry mix of weather thereafter for the rest of the week.
Since announcing our move from Bayufield yesterday we are viewing this Christmas season with even more nostalgia than usual. We have lived here for seventeen years, the longest Joan and I have lived anywhere in the almost fifty years of our marriage. There have been progressively fewer holiday decorations as the years have gone by, since so many residences have become second homes.
I don't want to get ahead of myself in creating a retrospective of The Almanac, so will leave it there for now.
