It was a cold, wet spring here. Many wags took to calling last month Junuary. This morning I heard the furnace kick on. I thought, “What the…?!? It’s July 1!” So if last month was Junuary, this month is Februly. I daresay when the heat and drought descend in August, we’ll miss the cool weather.

Light in the Dark Season
Seattle is in the midst of what the weather geeks call the Dark Season. Rain is forecast for the foreseeable future. My pepper and petunia plants are waterlogged and should be disposed of if it ever stops raining long enough for me to do so without soaking the floors. Still there is light. The leaves are …

Worst Day Run
January in the Seattle area is usually cold and rainy. Sometimes high winds get thrown in to compound the misery. As I write this, some intrepid runners are gathering in downtown Bothell for the Worst Day of the Year Run. This is of a piece with other cold-weather lunacies, such as the assorted Polar Bear …

Welcome to the Rainy Season
Last winter and spring were very wet. We just slogged through one of the hottest and driest summers on record. Now the rain is back. How long will it take before the locals start complaining about the rain? [Note: This is the 500th post for Edible Thoughts! Thanks for reading and following along with the …

Mid-Winter on the Sammamish
You would think that the rain and cool weather would keep folks off the river. You would think wrong. Despite the area reverting to rainforest, someone’s always on the river. This morning I saw two stand-up paddle boarders and a kayak in a short time. There’s a rowing school that routinely has students paddling up …

Moss Never Sleeps, 2018 Edition
The weather geeks have said that the last four years have been the rainiest on record hereabouts. As I’m typing, it’s raining again. All of this rain has had predictable results. The trees on the other side of the river from our condo are a brilliant green. They haven’t leafed out yet, it’s the moss. …

Autumn Arrives
Autumn sneaked in a few days early. Saturday was a gorgeous day. We drove up to Bellingham via Chuckanut Drive and hit the Fairhaven neighborhood. I woke up Sunday to cooler temperatures. It started drizzling while I was at church, and the rain kicked in after I got home. The rain continued Monday and Tuesday. …

Storm? What Storm?
The Seattle area was supposed to get 65 mph winds from a dying typhoon last night. Fortunately, this did not come to pass. We did get plenty of rain, but we never lost power. This morning I found a couple of puny branches from the big ass Douglas fir on our upper deck and the …
