I'm going to let a well kept secret out of the bag.  It really doesn't rain all that much in Oregon, especially in the summer.  In fact summers here tend to be pretty dry.  Blessedly every time the neighbors have plowed their fields in the past month we have gotten a light rain that night that settles the dust.   Last night was no exception.

It was humid going out to do chores this morning, but the smell of fresh clean air was wonderful!  And you can definitely feel the first traces of fall in the air too, which means I better hurry up and get a barn built for my expanding goat herd!
