It’s drippy in Seattle. Not really raining, but spots of dripping. I know I should probably be in full-blown freak-out mode, but all weather reports predict a dry Saturday so I’m totally ok.

I’m also soothed by what I saw out on the Island yesterday. We headed over to deliver Dallas and Erin and a truck FULL of food to the studio at my mom’s house. We did a quick walk through the woods, and I have to say that the rain makes the forest ten times more lovely. I mean, it is a rain forest after all, and when the rain’s been dripping through the trees everything gets the most gorgeous shine. All the dust gets washed off the ferns, and things glisten a shade of green that just makes you want to run around and hug things.

The rain thus far hasn’t been so heavy to really soak the ground beneath the trees, so I don’t think our campers will get too wet. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow during the day, so there is some concern that our set up time may be a little pinched by dribbles and that the casual evening potluck may be under plastic canopies…but that’s ok. We’ve got all day Saturday to set up, and folks can handle a little drip. The only concern is that the ground wouldn’t completely dry by Saturday evening, and our picnickers would get wet butts. We’ll see about that.
