Definitely some larger scale overlap with 1957 now. And regionally 1997 too, but that’s not a good hemispheric/predictive analog going forward IMO.

Ehhhh... cold and wet is not ideal but we have had enough warm days mixed in.

Who knew rain is good for plants? Precisely why we need less rain.

I've enjoyed the mild weather in SE WA over the last week or two but the allergies are kicking our butt. We will probably set up the AC next weekend. We've made it this far at least which is good.

Copius May and June rain seems to make the garden happy. Everything is growing exponentially. Have not had to water either... which has allowed me to focus on establishing the new grass.
