It’s a three-day blow

I’m sitting at my makeshift desk at the lake. I had planned to leave last night, but the pull of gorgeous June weather made me change my mind. It was a wee bit chilly at 5:30 a.m., and I was glad for the extra comforter. Yesterday being rainy all day, I fired up the wood stove. My brother, sitting outside in Alabama yesterday, announced it was 93 degrees. Today is warmer and dry, but the wind is just below the level of whipping up white caps.

Duncan taught me about the three-day blow on this New Hampshire lake. I had never witnessed that at home, but a large lake can generate its own weather. So, here I am in a three-day blow. But which day is it? Saturday had strong winds; yesterday, it was hard to judge because of the rain. I’ll find out tomorrow if this is day three or one.

While Duncan was still roaming this beautiful earth with me, we’d head out hiking when it was super windy. Though we both loved sailing, we weren’t interested in having to work that hard to harness the wind—we were fair-weather sailors. I miss him and our wooden sailboat. I have a great deal to learn to sail well as a solo. I keep saying I will take a sailing course at the Wooden Boat School in Maine. Yep, one of these days.

One of these days, maybe you’ll decide it’s time to put in that much-needed fence. Dream up that project until you get emotionally involved.
