NIPPY--We started this work week with some low lying fog and the air temperature was in the 40s, so definitely on the cooler side. Once the fog lifted, it was a very nice, sunny begining to the week. Pleasant temperatures are supposed to be with us for a few days, like in the low 70s, so until the rain returns on Friday, we should have some nice days to enjoy. Now we can do all those things we forgot to do when it was dry, which we realized that needed to be done, once we went through those few days of rain. We had quite a bit of the wet stuff...

DAMPNESS--We began this past weekend with just a slight bit of wetness falling, and while it wasn't much, it was most welcome. We managed to dry out again on Sunday but then we got some more rain drops on Monday, which really soaked things pretty good. Forecasters say we have more coming our way this week, so I'm sure those with drying up springs and parched lawns will be quite happy, although it will take some getting used to after all the lovely days we've enjoyed. Now if we could only get some decent rainfall amounts over those areas that ar...
I have been told a few times to be careful what you wish for, but I have really been wishing and hoping for rain as my well was nearly dry. Well, I got my wish and now we are flooded in, but I have water in my well. We didn’t really expect 7+ inches overnight, but that’s what we got and I’m okay with not being able to drive out for a day or two. News from Naselle: Sports calendar for the coming week: Thursday (today), high school volleyball in Naselle with Pe Ell at 5:45 p.m.; Saturday, high school volleyball Adna Tourney at 9 a.m., high schoo...

Wahkiakum Superintendent Brent Freeman met Senator John McCain while serving as a Naval Attache in Vietnam. McCain, who can be seen here with Freeman and Freeman's daughter, Kiana, died August 25. "Senator McCain loved the Navy," Freeman said. "I got to go with him when he went on some of his trips and got to learn first hand what he had to endure. It really made me appreciate what a great man he was, a man of integrity. For a person like that to overcome the type of obstacles that he overcame...

GORGEOUS--As we started the week, which was in the midst of our three day Labor Day weekend, it was truly gorgeous out! You can't beat blue skies, sunshine and mid-70s temperatures, which are just a perfect equation I think, as it's nice but not too hot! I will say that you can feel "Fall in the air" however, as evening temperatures are in the mid-40s and it's just a bit nippy in the early morning hours. Currently, forecasters are talking about a shift in the weather pattern and so by the end of this week, we may find ourselves being refreshed...
