lovely weather we're having

 So - it's raining. Again. I'm writing this in the brightly-lit cocoon of the visitor center, while it pours down torrentially outside, the sound of the raindrops on the pavement blending nicely with the rumbling thunder, and lightning over the harbor trying to compete with our lights inside. Our weather has been one extreme or the other lately: crazy hot and sunny, or a no-holds-barred thunderstorm. The weather report, of course, has no idea what's happening. It's still cheerfully proclaiming that it's rather sunny right now and might, just maybe, rain a bit later this afternoon.

For those of you in the area looking for some indoor entertainment, come check out our programs in Rock Harbor. We give coffee talks every Sunday, Monday, and Friday morning at the Lodge's beautiful guesthouse, harbor walks every afternoon at one, and evening programs in the bug-free, dry auditorium every day at eight pm. Next week, come hear the current artist-in-residence, Sara Tabbert, speak on her work and her art here on the island. (She's currently based out of Fairbanks, AK, but is more well-known in our VC for being the baby on the cover of "Summer in the Ishpeming Fire Tower.")

Shameless plug over - enjoy the rain and these photos, and try to stay dry!
