It’s raining right now.  I’m glad it’s raining because it’s been pretty dry (and hot/warm, depending on your tolerance level) here for a couple of weeks.  Nothing like last summer when we went for 4 months with no rain, but dry.  Yesterday, however, it was sunny and clear, as evidenced by the sight of Mount Baker from Mt.

And sure enough, sometime late in the night (or early in the morning, depending on your point of view) the rain began.  And it continues even now.

Jasper and Elliot were not fussed.  It takes a lot to interrupt their evening routine…
