MIXED--When it came to nice days or wet days, it sure depended on where you were last weekend as to how good of a day it was. As I was looking at black skies and watched the rain pound down, I saw postings and pictures of folks enjoying the sunshine as close by as Cathlamet, Rainer and as far away as Sunriver! But West Valley seemed to have hooked onto a rain cloud and it was making sure it gave my lawn a good watering; one perk of the rain I guess! We'll just hope the blue skies will show back up as suggested by the weather maps and the Bald...

OFF & ON HOLIDAY--Our Fourth of July holiday started out pretty nice for the first couple of days, but we woke up to rain here in West Valley on both Sunday and Monday. If you happen to be one of these people who are experiencing low water levels in your creek or well, I'm guessing you were pretty happy to see some rain fall, but that little bit probably won't do you much good, but it does take down the fire danger a bit, and with massive fires in some areas, the rain is a good thing. I hear we are to get some real rain by the end of the week...
