Soggy

Gosh it's been raining a bunch.
But, the bee balm and elderberries are blooming!


But in the hoophouse, it's dry and I got some cukes trellised up.  Nice tendrils grabbing onto the twine.


I had a young supervisor today.  
I think she's telling me to clean up those clippings.


Or she's just admiring the fine veggies.


Meanwhile, back in Portland, some random interesting pictures of the day.   A big oil tanker is running it's engine at the dock.  It's vaguely farm related, fossil fuel use is intertwined with so many parts of agriculture. 
 [insert oil dependency rant]


The smoke trail did do some neat stuff over the bay though.


And as I followed it around the peninsula, it led me to this.  Wow!
