I have confirmed -- through a reliable eyewitness source -- that a fresh run of smelt had entered the Cowlitz River and gone upstream as far as Lexington. That is what prompted all the seal & sea lion activity in the lower river earlier in the week.
Today (Wednesday) is my Friday and I have the next 2 days off. Naturally, it will be raining constantly until I return to work. I read a weather forecast today that said we are due for another cold, wet spring, much like last year. If that is to be the case, I might just put a whole bunch more manure fertilizer on my garden and cover it with black plastic for a year. If I do that I should have a garden that would be the envy of Ed Hume! Not to mention that it would be one less thing that I feel I need to keep up on this summer. The more I think about it, the better it sounds. At the very least, I would end up with a 50'x50' lot of the best top soil that no amount of money could buy. Then, if I would construct raised beds and use this "super soil" to fill them with I would really have something special to work with.
