I hope everyone kept their feet dry last weekend after the amount of rain and wind we ended up with. Our son and his girlfriend were here for the weekend but made an early exit on Saturday night in order to get out before we were flooded in. It didn’t last very long but was sure fast coming in. Looks like more silt building up in the pastures, and more pot holes to fill. News from Naselle: Sports calendar for the Naselle Comet teams this week include: Tuesday, the 18th-fast pitch and baseball at Ocosta at 4 p.m., Thursday, the 20th-fast p...

STORMY--It sure depended on where you were as to how good or bad it was last week. Last Friday was gorgeous here while Portland was dealing with a lot of rain. Those in the eastern part of the Columbia Gorge felt a winter blast with horrific thick, icy road conditions, while just west of Multnomah Falls, it was just wet. Last Monday it was blowing and raining here in West Valley, while it was sunny and warm in Longview, so if you travelled less than an hour in just about any direction, you were likely to find a different batch of weather....
Spring seems to be almost here, frogs singing, hummingbirds are back, daffodils are blooming and the buds are causing the trees to turn a different color.

Early spring is a time for dreaming… and making a list of seeds to order… and planning. And making a list of projects to be done by planting time like building another raised bed or a pea trellis. While the rains are coming sideways and the days are still cool, sitting in your favorite chair pouring over seed catalogs (with a cup of tea and paper and pencil in hand) is a great way to while away the hours. Reading a seed catalog is much more fun than standing in front of seed racks in some store. Not that those seeds are not good&h...

MIXED BAG--It's been a week of this and that for weather, as one day it's pretty dry and the next it's blowing sideways and coming down in buckets. Needless to say, when you saw the sun peek out for a few minutes, you used that opportunity to fix the leaky gutter, take out the trash or anything else that needed to be done outside, so you didn't get soaked when the "switch got flipped," as when it came down, it was nasty out there! Of course, as of this writing and in spite of all the rain, we've got no reason to complain considering what folks...
IT'S SNOW TIME!--This past week brought us a whole lot of extremely cold weather and "white" around our area as well. The snow amounts were not nearly as bad as places in Oregon, but there was enough that it certainly did mess up a lot of plans, so a lot of scheduled events had to be cancelled. From school closures to sports events, to pie socials, to Bingo and the Wahkiakum Fair Board's big Valentine Dinner and more, it was a weekend of cancellations and huge disappointments by those that work so hard to plan, clean and shop and get ready for...
