Day: April 27, 2018

Friday, April 27th, 2018 —> +7˚C / +44˚F – Still Dark & Mostly Cloudy @ 5:45am in Atlantic Canada — Today would have been Uncle Tom’s Birthday —

– Web Cam @ 6:40 am Atlantic Time – Most of the snow has melted from this angle –

— I didn’t get out to see it – Still at least slightly under the weather with a stomach bug – But the St John River is rising higher that we’ve seen it here since we moved into this area in2014 – The 6:00 pm news showed a guy pointing to a tree with flood waters rising to a point almost near the ‘generational high point’ of 2008 with the all time high from 1973 a little bit higher than the 2008 mark. I think the markers were bits of wood nailed into the tree trunk 🙁 – But I hope the tree isn’t in any pain over that.

— I took the plywood tent off from over our Smoke Tree after Cathi got up and got herself ready to work from home today. 🙂 – I hope I didn’t hurt the tree by limiting the amount of sunlight that reached its leaves in my attempt to protect it from damaging snow and ice falling from the roof of the porch beside it – I guess we’ll see in the near future.

— Anyway, Not quite as ‘blehhhh’ as yesterday – but nowhere near 100% yet – Sigh –
