- A beautiful October Sunday morning. The frost on the ground is melting away. Temp hovered around freezing from about 2 to sunrise. #
- Have been giving hayride tours. Happy, mellow crowd at the farm today. Always good to see people enjoy your work. #
- We were getting some sun earlier this morning. Now we have a solid gray overcast. Probably feels cooler than it really is. #
- School pumpkin tours are already finished for the day – Columbus day. Lots of office work to catch up on after a busy farmstand week. #
- Clouds turning to overcast. Please, rain, come early and leave the weekend skies clear. #
- The farm is full of flocks of school kids and birds. #
- Wind at 15-25 mph. Lights flickering, sunflowers & cornstalks swaying. Birds are grounded. #
- Blue sky & sun peek through the clouds, mocking the weather forecasters. #
- Flora, the Ford 8N tractor refused to work this am. I drove the JD for Farm Tots hayrides. Rain held off, now dumping. #
- I hope someone left it food & water. @Herbguy Isn't every day that I wander into the kitchen and there is a WHOLE LAMB lying there. #
- Have been putting off a trip to the feed store for hay & chicken feed. Looks like the rain won't let up any time soon. It's time get moving. #
- October Seattle Magazine is finally out. I'm a local authority! (Corn Maze Designer) http://bit.ly/f5dhP Image is way cooler in print. #
- King County budget http://bit.ly/4Dj1yo proposes to drop Puget Sound Fresh http://bit.ly/x1ufl, County Extension http://king.wsu.edu, & more #
- Sun is burning through high overcast. Rain forecast – don't see it soon. #
- Farm Tots picking big shelly beans & herbs to take home & make bean soup. #
- Rye grain cover crop planted about 2 weeks ago is finally up strong. First sprout came on Tuesday. #
- Lots of ideas & discussions about changing how we use the hoophouses next year. Seedling starting, plant sales, Farm Tots, tomatoes & basil. #
- In case you haven't noticed, it's been raining off & on all morning. Still a fair number of people at the farm, keeping us busy. #
- Most of today's field crew day was prepping fields for winter: mow down plants, remove dripline – ready to till in and plant the cover crop. #
- Whoa, a half inch of rain in the last hour. 0.85 inches yesterday. The farm is awash. No floating pumpkins yet. #
- Trying to come up with under-cover task for the field crew. Sort out stuff in storage. Put stuff away for the winter. #
- Water is pouring over the Pumpkin Patch. Runoff from the ridge to the E is all funnelled down onto our farm. Even so, have pumpkin pickers. #
- Rain has tapered off for now. 0.81 inches so far today. Most between 8:30 and 10 am. #
- I just wittnessed a kneeling suitor presenting the ring – in the pumpkin patch. Yes, she accepted. #
- A phrase you don't hear often: "Remember, no splashing in the Pumpkin Patch, please!" #
- The sun is out now, but the wind is picking up. Another rain forecast. #
