Winter on the way
I had been noticing sunset creeping in earlier and earlier but it is 20:30 and pitch black outside.
The nice news is that we have a soft rain falling with more forecast for the next few days. We have had an
unusual stretch of 48 days without it -- be nice to let the garden take care of itself for a while. Not a record though -- that was 51 days without rain.
Please Note: Readers in the Pacific Northwest who find themselves affected by this strange meteorological phenomena can find training materials here:
Rain is in the Seattle forecast? What do we do again???
One of the comments to the post at this link was the following:
Just got back from Safeway. Bought all the canned pork and beans, distilled water, batteries, Doritos, and Alaska Amber. Thought about more practical items but everybody loves Doritos and Alaskan Amber and I figure I can use those to barter when civilization fails. Right now, I'm going to the gas station to fill all my gas cans. Got the generator running now even though everyone else seems to still have power...well, we'll see who's laughing later when this rain stuff starts to fall.
Heh.
Around here, winter is when I hunker down and work on projects inside. Got a couple lined up plus doing a lot more blacksmithing -- getting pretty decent at this...
