We love the Northwest - We really do


But after a few weeks of rain, rain, and more rain we are ready to run for dry land.  Getting tired of scraping the moss between our toes, for sure.
.
13" of rain in October so far and our yearly average is 35" – 
one-third of our expected annual total!  
Egad.

400% more rain than average 
.
Did you hear about our "big storm" last week?  
It's name was "All Threat No Action" Storm 
after a certain current presidential candidate.
Lots of rain but not much wind.  
Biggest damage was trees falling because their roots had become saturated.  
We survived.
I periodically check a weather blog from Cliff Mass, a professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington : http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/
And a few of his latest comments tickled me: 
If you are still watering your garden, stop. - Well, duh.
Ducks are very happy.  You bet!
