We headed out to the grist mill yesterday for the annual cider pressing event. (Grist mill photo just to the right of this post...it's the cover for my 2016 calendar.) I was expecting scant crowds because of the weather, but boy was I wrong! The line for cider extended from the mill across the covered bridge, shown in background of my photo from under the cedar tree. We got 2 inches of rain, which is a lot for one afternoon in drizzly Washington. An umbrella rain, as we say. We wimped out, skipped the cider, picked up the fresh ground winter wheat for our long-ferment, gluten-neutralized sourdough, and headed home. I'll pick up some cider at the store later on today.

Lots of rain here in Corvallis too! -- barbara
Nice photo; I like the little out of focus dots of colour. I'm rather partial to the occasional glass of cider too!
Beautiful photo...I would not have waited either. I can barely stand to wait in line when I absolutely have to...sure not going to do it by choice.
