Whooosh! The Pineapple Express has finally arrived! Wind and rain and warm air has flowed into the Georgia Basin and the creeks are running and the forest is soaking and fir needles are everywhere. The power has been tempermental and we're having trouble keeping the tarps on the exposed parts o fthe woodpile.

But inside here all is warm and toasty, with a fire burning and the Leaf game on and after a couple of weeks of being anxious about the weather pattern, it seems like the fall has finally arrived in full spirit.

More rain expected tomorrow, with gale and ranfall warnings in Howe Sound. Oh joy for these storms! They are ennervating to say the least.
