The weatherman notified us early this week that our future (a.k.a. a six-month sized rain cloud) would be moving in off the coast on Friday. With T -20 hours 'till the rainy season, on Thursday the deck guys raced to get the seal-coat on the new wood while I raked leaves, moved in the stuff that is only out for the dry season, staked out plans for the spring veggie beds, vacuumed the lawn (every bit as unusual as it sounds, but it was the only solution I could come up with for a problem the deck guys created) and just generally battoned down the hatches. Then I picked up Eleanor from school. We decided to high-tail it out to Sauvie Island for an afternoon on a farm. We tromped around, took a tractor hay-ride, ran the corn maze, and picked up some pumpkins. It was dusty but a gloriously sunny fall day.
