Day before the rain I was scrambling around looking for hidden mowers or buckets of tools. Just when it started to get towards dinner and felt I had it covered, "the g#@#$#* roof"! hit me.
First day on high blood pressure meds was pushed back a day, luckily.
Rough start to grumpy/rainy season could have been a lot worse.

Not a puddle…..that is my rain gauge!
The bigger the better. No smoke either.
Let the rust begin……

Got snowed on last night. Got about 2". Probably not powder as it wasn't that cold when it started to snow. But the next week it will be colder. Looking for powder snow. It is easier to clean up. I'd go take a few pictures but we al know what snow looks like. Besides, Baby it's cold outside.
A fun little thunderstorm rolled through Tacoma last night. About 10 minutes of lightning, 5 minutes approaching, 1 strike nearly on top of us, and 5 minutes departing. It did bring a downpour, which we sat and listened to. It was delightful. Our dogs did not care for the thunder though.
WDFW might need to close the rivers down due to excessive flows….

Back to normal in Beaver, WA. One of the rain barrels just now...
I love that site Brian! We need more substantial rain along the Oregon coast (actually all of the West Coast) and it looks as if it might be on the way.
We don't shovel rain...
That being said, the yard is full of leaves and cedar boughs, pretty much carpeted. Based on previous experience I have a 4 hour phase 1 clean up to do, with another 3 hour pile pickup with the tractor on my list, after getting in some fishing.
So may be next week till I get to that..

Go right to snow
We're supposed to get some rain this afternoon, tonight. I sure hope so, I thought we had escaped this sort of nonsense - a fire broke out in the Croatan National Forest about 10 miles south of here, grew to about 35,000 acres in 6 hours:
Won’t be needed to mow my grass…I mean hay much more this year. Drying out super fast and a nice brown patina.
June used to be a terrible month weather wise. Junuary has we called it. I recall one camping trip to the coast in June where the air mattresses were floating in the tent.
110° in June a few years ago. As a PNW lifer I never thought I’d see that in my lifetime.
Perhaps @Shawn Seeger can get on it and make it rain.
Not much happening over the next 10 days on the now dry supposedly wetside.
