Mud on the pumpkins

Well now, I suppose you could think the past 4 days of weather here in Western Washington means summer is over! Not only have we had days with high temperatures getting up to only 56* and nights in the mid-40's, we also managed to crank out 1.88" of rainfall. And that is without the 0.26" and 0.29" we had on days surrounding that period! But then nice weather returns, just like it is coming. And more summer heat into the 80's likely by the end of the week. I love this time of year and am eager for my favorite hiking season and my favorite photography season. Bring it on! Now....let's pray for that Indian Summer and El Nino to kick in so we have mild weather for outings all winter....
