The rain approaching from the south; Goose Island in the distance
This morning at 9:00 a.m. the temperature was 62 degrees, the sky was mostly cloudy and the wind was light at 5-8 mph out of the south. As the day progressed, the sky continued to darken until 1:15 p.m. when it started to rain.
It rained lightly for about 45 minutes, then absolutely poured for about 20 minutes, before letting up to a light sprinkle for the next couple of hours. The high temperature today didn't get much past 70 degrees.
At 4:00 p.m. my parents arrived at the cabin. They had been at a wedding over the weekend in western Illinois, then spent Sunday night in northern Wisconsin before making their way to Leech Lake today. They'll be here for four days. I hope we get some good weather so we can get out onto the lake to do some fishing and go hiking back in the woods.
I had a number of business calls and other work related activities that took up most of my morning and afternoon, so I didn't get a chance to go fishing before my parents arrived. Then between the on-again off-again rain and cooking dinner, I didn't go fishing this evening either. That's fine, however, because it gave me a chance to visit with my parents.
I have more work to attend to tomorrow morning that should keep me occupied until the early afternoon. If the weather permits, I'll go fishing both tomorrow afternoon and then trolling tomorrow evening. My mother would like a fish fry while she's here at the lake and I'd love to accommodate her.
Until tomorrow...
