Flag Day 2014

The long summer days give us the rare opportunity
to arrive at Smith Lake on Friday nights just in time for sunset.

Clouds were rolling in, but parted briefly to reveal a lovely soft peach and blue-grey sunset. 

Overnight and morning rains left the first 1/2 inch of weekend rain in the rain gauge.  Finally, the sun broke through on Saturday afternoon and the flag could go out to celebrate Flag Day.




Just after dinner we had to pull the flag in again as a thunderstorm rolled in.  The dishes were all done and we played a couple rounds of cards while the storm lashed at the windows and docks.  A full inch of rain fell over the next hour or two.  

Then the storm tumbled and rumbled it's way eastward and, through the last lingering raindrops, this magnificent sunset closed our day at Smith Lake.
