After a week’s worth of rain, the sun did slightly (for a brief glimpse) peek thru on Saturday just before another storm blew in giving us another round of heavy drizzle last night and into the morn.
This rain is so unusual for October. We’ve give up on “normal” weather for awhile now thanks to global weirding.
Rain is a blessing but, so much at this time of year, when the weather is still warm we’ve seen something that we’ve never seen before – MOLD! It’s so wet that there’s fungus and mold growing on wood, walls and walkways — even some of the veggies are showing signs of mold. Young beans are molding on the vine! So looks like we won’t be having green beans in November.
No sun as of yet but at least the rain’s stop, and none too soon, because there’s lots of outside work to be done!

October 25, 2010 at 12:21 pmThe global weather certainly has been weird this year. Nebraska had 12 inches of rain in June,another six and a half in July, and six more in the next two months. We normally get about 15 inches for the year so it’s been very wet. Then October has been unusally warm with day time temperatures in the 70s and night time temps in the 40s. The fall colors are brilliant and long lasting because of no killing frost yet.
I hope your monsoons end soon.

October 26, 2010 at 8:26 amI have to say-I would trade for your weather anyday! We had a good dump of snow yesterday here in Alberta, and my plants are…dead…
It is supposed to warm up at the end of the week-hopefully the snow will go and I can finish my fall-to-winter garden cleanup. Uggghhh-want to trade houses?
