• Light rain this morning. Will spend the day in the office. Time to clear out old stuff. #
• The first seed catalog for next year arrived in today's mail. And so the cycle begins again. #
• Mostly overcast, looks like the blue skies off to the west are spreading. Thunderstorms forecast. 0.6 inches of rain yesterday, 0.4 this am. #
• The second seed catalog came in the mail today. #
• Was mostly blue skies earlier this am, now high clouds moving in. Still is a pleasant morning, if you can stay out of all the puddles & mud. #
• Minea Farm (a neighbor) is the place to go. http://bit.ly/bMsLO @SeattleMaven Any ideas on where to get the BEST, freshest cider in Seattle? #

• Drying the last of the chamomile buds I had frozen away. We sold a lot of chamomile for tea this year. #
• Water pooling in places never seen before at the farm. I expect we'll lose most of the dahlias, probably more. #
• Today is "Thank Your Farmers and Ranchers Day" as proclaimed by Gov. Gregoire. #
• Intense winds have ripped away at the cloud cover. A bright very thin crescent moon and a few stars shine bright. #
• Gray skies this am, but no rain last night, for a change. #
