It is by our deeds that we are known.

.37 inches of rain yesterday.  Windy, clear and 41 degrees.  Sunny and windy today with a high of 50.  Winds dying down tonight with partly cloudy skies and a low of 37.  Clouding up tomorrow with showers in the afternoon, a high of 55 and a brisk WSW breeze.  Low tomorrow night-32.  Strong NW winds Thursday with some clouds, a high of 41 and a low of 26.  Partly cloudy Friday with a WSW breeze, a high of 46 and a low of 37.  Showers Saturday with a SSW wind, a high of 53 and a low of 34  Partly cloudy Sunday and Monday with WNW breezes, highs about 44 and lows about 27.  Mostly cloudy next Tuesday and Wednesday with north breezes, highs about 44 and lows abut 28.  Some sun Thursday, the 25th, and Friday, the 27th,  with a north breeze,  highs of 46 and lows of 30.  Showers the next four days, today they aren't saying snow showers.  Long range forecasters are saying a slightly milder than average November and December.

     Darel had a quiet day yesterday, between low pulse and a busy weekend he napped a lot.  He si probably going to want to go some place today but I've lots to do before the temperature plummets Thursday.

    I took up more celery yesterday and pulled what was left of the Walla Walla onions.  Everyone took some of them so they won't keep.  Today I'll pull the rest of the onions and the beets.  Tammara will empty the hoop house so I can soak it with hydrogen peroxide and shut down the water.

     today the stand will be shut down except for squash and pumpkins.  Just enough other vegetables left for us.  Debbie is going to make salsa and i'm going to make a couple large pots of tomato sauce with vegetables in it and freeze it to use up odds and ends.  i have some green tomatoes for green tomato mince meat.  i picked apples yesterday.  With this wind the good ones that were at the top of the tree will be on the ground to pick up.

     Our power has been off and on a few times.  I took a very quick shower thinking we may lose it.  If we do we'll start the generator right away so the plastic on the greenhouse stays inflated.  As long as it is inflated the wind won't bother it.

   Have a good day, Sally
