This summer's dry weather was the best in our lives. 90 days with no rain! There is really no reason to complain about a little rain.

We need the rain to keep the forests green and mossy and to grow the mushrooms ... and that's happening big time. Everywhere we look there are puddles and mushrooms and moss.
In our traveling, we are passing "Water on Roadway" signs and mud slides and trees tipped over by the roots. We were even turned away from one campground which was underwater. There are low gray clouds almost all the time. It is so dark many days, that there isn't enough energy from the sun to recharge our solar garden lights.
And how much rain has fallen in the great Pacific Northwet?

The rains returned on October 12th. Where we live, October had 9.7" of rain. November 15.3". And so far December has had 4". That's 29 inches, folks!
Out here on the Washington coast where there are things like "rain forests" there has been a lot more rain! 42+ inches this fall!

Think we'll head for drier climes!
