Rain with a Chance of Even More Rain

Back to normal in the Pacific Northwest, it would seem. Our mild and unusually dry winter days over and gone. Webbed toes remembering their glory days. This is what we signed up for when we settled the hills and valleys of north western Oregon. I for one am not complaining.

It does tend to get a bit old, but the payoff is well worth it... Green summers, skin that doesn't get tight and itchy, falling asleep to the sound of gurgling and dripping from the eaves and gutters.

Some nice shots. It hasn't snowed here yet in England.

Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.

I'll take some rain instead of all the snow we're getting. I love seeing the two sweetest kids too!

I always love your photos; I can almost feel your creativity and love. I particularly enjoyed the birdbath and lichen.

I love your hat, and would love to know the pattern and stitch used. The yarn color is beautiful. Nancy
