I wish I could give you all some of the rain falling on my place. Here in NW Oregon we’ve had triple the normal rainfall for October. There have been 9 days so far this month with rainfall over a half inch.

Rivers are already high. If this keeps up, the flood control dams may have to start releasing water several months early. When that happens, then it is flood city in the valleys.

It’s been the same for us in Eastern Washington. Normally October is my month to get the yard squared away for winter but we haven’t had enough clear days with sunshine for the grass to dry out. Our soil is completely saturated, which is unusual here in the desert.

The hills even have green on them and normally they’re as brown as the surrounding basalt this time of year.
