looks like the weather will hold

Ok, so as of 6:30 this morning the weather forecast looks as good as it can be expected to look for this time of year. Here is the official forecast from NOAA

Today: A chance of showers, mainly after 3pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 78. Southwest wind between 10 and 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Sounds like the rain shouldn't come until much later in the day, if at all.

soooooo

WE ARE ON FOR MEETING AT TAFT'S PLAYGROUND TODAY AT 11:00! YAY! :)

Directions and updates

Here are directions to Taft's Playground in Woods Hole for the meeting on the 14th.

These are from the Bourne Bridge. So, from there you would stay on Rt. 28 and follow signs to Falmouth. You will just stay with 28 until you come to a set of lights, at which point you will go straight through and continue following signs to Woods Hole and the Vineyard ferries. This will have you coming into Woods Hole on Woods Hole Rd. You will go through another set of lights eventually, then on for a ways until you see a little harbor on your left, then you will see signs for the Woods Hole Library on your right, and then Pie in the Sky bakery on your left as you stay to the right around the slight curve in the road... this part of the road is very tight and it may take a few minutes to jockey through it with all the traffic. You should be on Water St going past Pie in the Sky. Take a right on School St. You will go past an old school building and see Eel Pond (actually a little harbor) on your left, then take a left on Millfield St. Take your first right on Bell Tower Ln (you will see a white church at the corner and a stone bell tower across the street). The park where we are meeting is at the end of the road. If parking is tight we will just have to park along the road. It should take you about a half hour to get to Woods Hole from Bourne.

I will post directions from Hyannis tomorrow evening. And I will update everyone on the weather situation and whether we will be doing the rain date instead. I will post here about the weather and rain dates on Monday morning (the 14th) by 7 o'clock in the morning.

Everyone think NO RAIN thoughts!
