55
degrees w/12 mph winds….cloudy and raining
Day 17
Listening
to the weather channel on the radio: possible cold front tomorrow and it sounds
like it’s going to rain most of today and tomorrow. We usually talk every night about what
projects need to be done, and which ones to do depending on the weather. Guess I’m working on the museum sign down in
the Whistle house today…my brick projects must wait. They also mentioned the water temp which I
haven’t shared with you….40 to 45 degree’s….haven’t gone swimming yet, at least
not on purpose.

To all my
Texas friends….do I need to build an Ark and come get ya? My friend Joan texted me and told me about
all the snakes, guess their homes are underwater so their seeking high ground.
Be Safe!
Happy Birthday to my Aunt Jo
Nell!

is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom
shall I be afraid. Be my guiding light.

Historical
Fact
1795
George Washington commissioned this Light Station during his 2nd
presidential term.
1812 The War
of 1812 – Seguin was a strategic naval site, because of the proximity to the
Kennebec River and Portland Harbor, both being very active seaports.
My
History
Belgian
Hares….Rabbits of different colors, the babies were
large, so the parents were naturally
very large. They were all over the
island. Momma said when the light would
shine at night, it almost looked like it had snowed because there were hundreds
of them. They were plentiful, so
sometimes they were even dinner! Some
history of the island states that Wilson, one of the other keepers, had brought
a few for pets for his daughter, but that is not true. There are no more rabbits on the island now.

It rained
all day, but the evening was crystal clear like the rain had cleaned
everything. The other lighthouses along
the coast are shining. I tried to get a
photo, but it just doesn’t do it justice.
Our lighthouse is beautiful!

| My beautiful night light....goodnight! |
We ended
the evening with a temp of 49 degrees w/ chill factor of 44…good sleeping
weather.
