A visit with Farmer Roger

• Blue sky with some clouds. A good day to get outside. #
• Mobile bookstore @ReadersToEaters is at the farm today. How many places can you shop outside for food-related books and then do a corn maze? #
• At lot of time spent this morning re-routing the parking and the hayride. I hope not to have to pull out any stuck cars. #
• Puddles on the farm act like strong magnets to little kids. What's one more load of laundry compared to that much free fun? #
• Does the job offer a 401K? @Herbguy Help. …."Wanted: Phone Person to screen dishwasher applicant calls…" #
• Bright blue sky reflected in calm puddles. Sun glistens off the mud. #
• Overcast day. Feels like fall. Puddles from Sat's rain are still draining. #
• Farmstand is open today – first visitors wandering around. Plus a full day of school tours. #
• Are Pumpkin Patches the new hot place for proposals? Email reply today: "I hope to surprise her this weekend." #
• Seeing lots of worm castings today. Good to know the worms are thriving in spite of the massive rainfall last Sat. #
• Morning fog is still lingering. The farm is slowly drying out from Saturday's deluge. Puddles & mud still linger. #
• Lots of kids on the pumpkin tour: Learn how pumpkins grow from seeds, hunt for worms in the worm bin, do the piggy maze, meet animals, more. #
• Rosalio started tearing out the bamboo poles for the pole beans today. Another sign that we are past mid-October. #
• Misty morning. Showers forecast. #
• Big day for school tours. Light showers. Cars everywhere, plus a bus. Hoping we won't have to pull out any stuck cars. #
• Farm Tots are headed out to pick kohlrabi – the "alien vegetable." #
• High overcast, but sun is getting through. Time to get outside before the next rain comes. #
• Huge truckload of gravel looks like not all that much when spread on the parking lot. Now need to sell 250 bunches of kale to pay for it.. #
• Looks like the rain has died down for now. We had 0.42 inches of rain, starting after midnight. #
• One of those mornings: the rented forklift stopped dead in the middle of our main road (single lane), still catching up long after opening, #
• I'm happy @CECalhoonEA found some new wool socks for me. My shoes are soaked through, but my feet don't mind, warm in their new socks. #
• Weather change here at the farm: Sun, lots of blue sky, brisk wind, clouds moving fast. My phone says it is raining in Seattle. #
• Fairly typical to find the weather is nicer here at the farm (Redmond/Woodinville) than over in Seattle. Except for when it's worse. #
• Rain pouring down – Flashlight & Boots Night at the Corn Maze. #
• Tempted: I'm less than 10 min down the road. @Herbguy Come in person by 6:35pm. …..I'll give you a magnum of 2000 Northstar Merlot. #
• Morning fog lifting, revealing a beautiful sky. Last eve a full 1.0 inch of rain in 3 hrs. #
• Rerouting parking once more. Bi #
• Started that last entry over 3 hrs ago. It got away from me when I opened it back up. #
• Finally put up a sign a the farm entrance. "MUD!" For those people who are surprised to find mud at the farm after #
• "MUD!" Finally put up a sign at the farm entrance to remind foks that farms are not paved.. #
• Sun is about to set. Moon is high. Will be a beautiful evening. #
• Evening fog is rising, down by the Samammish R. Will make Flashlight Night wild,if it creeps all the way to the farm. #
