yesterday was pretty nice here, but today is rain which has turned to snow for a bit. it isn't supposed to be that much and it should be warm enough to melt it all.

Rain. Days of rain. I wish the Lord would send some of it in the summer, instead of months at a time, then nothing for months...

This year, since I have saved so many distilled water jugs, I intend to punch holes with a fork on the bottoms, save the lids, tie to stakes by my tomatoes and peppers, etc., and practice very slow drip irrigation.
I have 5 slow drip hoses, but they take more water than I like.
Just a thought, since you say that you "drought out" every year.

one hole (let alone a forkfull) can drain a gallon jug pretty fast. how big you make the hole will be important... we used to bury five gallon buckets in the gardens next to the tomato plants for watering but after several years of doing that i ended up just returning to direct watering. the plants would sent roots to plug up those holes and also bits of dirt or whatever would plug up the holes.

A very unpleasant day outdoors, yesterday.

Wind gusts above 55mph at midday. Rain fell intermittently throughout the day, with only about 1/4 of an inch but it came down horizontal with all the wind. At yesterday's sunrise, 36⁰f (2⁰C) and made it up to 49⁰f (9⁰C) during the afternoon.

The nearest Snotel mountain gained 16 inches of new snow through this week to 70" and 126% of normal. The interstate highway pass over to Seattle has more snow than that but it looks as though the roadway has been kept open with the map showing lots of "!" on the Cascade Mountain highways. The i90 pass into Montana was still reporting heavy snow last night.

And, it continues. We have a little break from those conditions today but back to 100% chance of precipitation with plenty of wind, Sunday.

Steve, hunkering down

Sunshine and a little bit windy today. Would have been gardening outside by now, BUT, DD's are on a mission that required measured wood, Purchasing wood, and left me to make the last turkey in their freezer, which is on, with 2 quarts of turkey broth, and innards cooking away in my oldest little crock pot, so that I can make gravy with the liver, and peel off some meat for Eva. I made the cornbread first, and, while they are shopping, they THREE, 2 DD's and DH, I will need to peel potatoes and prep them for mashing. Plus corn.
This is today's dinner and tomorrow's lunch and dinner, again.
Rain tomorrow...
