The yard is dry as dust and Seattle could really, really use some moisture. But we're in a typical rain shadow pattern today and all we get is grey clouds overhead with rain all around us. The Olympic Mountains sometimes block the rain coming in from the Pacific Coast.
At least it's cool and comfortable to putter outside this afternoon. I need to deadhead flowers as the garden transitions into the final round of summer. Why does it always go so fast?
Not much else is new except I have two big red mosquito bites on my face! The annoying thing is it happened in our bedroom here, not Twisp, which wasn't buggy at all this past weekend. We had a nice dinner party on the deck without getting pestered, but by August, the aggressive yellow jackets make it impossible to eat outside.
Having been stung a few times, it is the one creature I cannot stand.
