Happy rainy Sunday, October 11! We are open today, but are expecting occasional showers off and on. Mixed weather reports call for 0 inches of rain between now and 5 PM, but we shall see! We had a great time with our families yesterday and have a completely covered deck where, even during heavy rain people were having a blast, panning for gold and pyrite, and even gems! And the Stellar Blue Jays still wanted their peanuts ๐Ÿ˜€
