October begun

Well here we are half way through October, and still nearly no rain. But enough, thankfully, that the spring is back to usual levels. The lack of rain is making a beautiful autumn. Usually we have a precious few days of that classic dry crispy autumn before the torrents arrive and wash it away. This year we've been wandering in our Cowichan knits for a month already!

But not so good for the salmon that usually spawn here this time of year. There's not enough water in the river for them to come inland. Well, maybe soon.
