The Rain is here making lazy dogs

Hello folks,

over the half way point for November and the rain has pretty much been a daily constant here in the Willamette valley. Somewhere there is rain falling in the valley on an almost daily basis. I haven't looked for the Salem totals to date but I think we are well ahead of last year and maybe close to normal since October first.

Kind of make days feel like lazy days and being like the dog and catching some snooze time on the couch. Yep our dog occasionally will decide that the couch is the place to be to take a nap for the day or what have you. Some how he can just lie there with no cares in the world while everyone else seems to be busy around him.

Thanksgiving is about a week away so will need to start to think about holiday decorating coming up. One thing I noticed the other day while walking in downtown Salem, is that Nordstroms has some posters saying they will get ready for Christmas holiday starting on November 27th. They said they like to celebrate one holiday at a time. It was a great change to see an anchor store in our downtown mall not having all the Christmas hype up and trying to get folks to hurry up and buy. My hat is off to them for taking their time and let the days and holidays come like they used to....what's the hurry? Nice job Nordstroms!

Not much else, thanks for reading.
