Author (#241)September 2007 ArchivesHere we go... Our first sign that fall is here . Yes the season offically changed last Sunday but Thursday night the weather pattern offically changes. An unseasonably cool weather system is dropping in from The Gulf Of Alaska. Oregon and southwest Washington will have one more dry and mild day before the rain reaches us.
Yesterday I wrote on this blog about the lack of precipitation we've seen this month. Looks like that's about to change. An unusually cool and damp system in now taking shape in the Gulf of Alaska.

Temperatures are cooler, leaves are turning on the trees, just one thing is missing - rain. September, is shaping up to be another month with less than average rainfall.

The kittens were the litter of a stray cat that showed up on our back patio about a month and a half ago. The mother of the kittens who we named Vamp de Tramp, disappeared a couple of days before the kittens were discovered. Vamp, by the way is still MIA ... (missing in action). Here's some pictures of the brood. Also known a... Woke up this morning and you could tell things have changed! After a long holiday weekend it was get up and go back to work. For most kids it's the start of another school year. Last but never least rain was pouring out of the sky! As Bill Schonley, would say... Bingo Bango Bongo! The rain started about 3 AM and for about 3 hours it poured across parts of Willamette Valley & the Portland Metro area.
