An Inconvenient Truth

Dear Mr Gore,

I am wondering when the global warming will reach
us here in the Midwest?

Sincerely,

Love Under the Umbrella 2006

On this day fifty-nine years ago my parents were married in Dexter, a small town in central Maine. They planned to go to the coast for a few days but their honeymoon trip was altered by a spring snow storm. Their Model A could not handle the snow so they turned back and stopped at a local market to pick up a few groceries. They went back to their apartment to cook their first meal as husband and wife and both of them say it was one of the best meals they have ever had. With a winter storm warning issued for tonight and tomorrow it looks like they may have the opportunity to be snowed in again.

We have had a lot of rain in the past few days ~ including 2 inches on Saturday night. Along with the ice and snow melt it has caused the rivers and creeks to approach flood stage. I had been to the park Tuesday afternoon to photograph when the water was very still and there were interesting reflections. I saw fish swimming in the shallow areas on the lawn and hoped they didn't get stuck there when the waters receded.
