Well, today was wedding day for our niece. Good thing we had extra tents set up because it pretty much rained all afternoon and evening. The procession and ceremony had to be done in the big tent, as opposed to outside. But, it did let up enough so that they were able to get most of the pictures taken outside the tent.
It still was a nice service, my wife played the keyboard for the ceremony, and I taped it with the in-lawsâ camcorder. It was quite emotional for her but she is very close to both of her nieces (her sisterâs daughters). She babysit them a lot when they were growing up, and was involved in their early years quite a bit. Weâre all glad thatâs done with, and wish them a happy future.
Anyways, Itâs still raining now, and from what I can tell we got about 3/4" so far, and is supposed to rain more overnight. Might get another half inch before it moves out. It was awful over at the Derby today, they got over 3", what a mess. We didnât watch it as the wedding started about at post time.
We actually needed a bit of rain since itâs been kind of dry and warm this week. This ought to really get those last few berry plants to spring up.

Enjoying our 1st âtropical disturbanceâ that came up the coast that no one was expecting (b/c it is kinda early for those). I say âenjoyingâ because the pollen count was off the charts and the rain barrels were empty. 
As my brother said during his wedding (years ago) âItâs supposed to be good luck to have it rain on your wedding, but Iâve never heard that itâs bad luck for it to be sunny.â And it rained on his wedding, of course.

We got married when we were both in our early 40s, it was cold and cloudy, but no rain, so I donât know what that portends. Still going after 9 years. We actually attend the church we got married in.
Of course when we walked out of church today, it was sunny and beautiful. Our rain gauge showed about 1.5" over the last couple days.

Interesting set up for this weekendâŚhope iâm in the warm sector.
nws la crosse
Very tricky temperature forecast during the Friday/Saturday
timeframe, with some hints that temps may be stuck only in the 40s
(maybe even upper 30s?) in some areas north of the warm front with
clouds while areas farther south may spike into the 70s if that
boundary can briefly flex northward (a big "if).
The dry weather has been gorgeous, but plants need water
But the dry weather keeps down disease, and the humid weather encourages it
Canât win it all
been upper 60âs and dry here for over a week now. went from flooding to fire danger. had to water some containers yesterday.

Yeah the forecast for Maine looks downright dry. We need some rainâŚbut not a pattern where it sticks around for a week. At least it looks like it will be seasonable/cool as well. Seems like itâs all or nothing with the weather these days.
