  2. A prelude to autumn weather. We are really dry here right now. I need to start watering my trees in before winter hits. Have a wonderful Monday Lynette. Allan

    1. Thank you. Wow! It seems that your summer has been a feast or famine in the rain department, Allan. As I’ve indicated before, we were fortunate enough to get a few showers here and there which mitigated the worst of the drought and the fires here in our little spot, but we are really dust, dust dry. We definitely need rain.

    1. Exactly. And I agree, it seems to have been all or nothing in so many places. We had showers throughout the summer which I think were very helpful, but they were also very localised and only enough to stave off the worst.

          2. I heard that the ferries are closed and that there are power outages. I’m assuming that you haven’t been affected, Anneli. I agree that the cooler (but not cold) temperatures are so nice. Such a relief from the summer oven we just had.

  5. Wonderful to get rain there after a dry and fiery summer. We had a gorgeous, sunny weekend with comfortable temps. Then, overnight last night we were awakened by loud, booming thunder and a good hard rain.

    1. That’s pretty wonderful! A sunny warm weekend followed by rain. We haven’t had any hard rain yet and at this point it wouldn’t be great since we are so, so dry. Ideally we need lots of slow rain, but really, even the merest sprinkle or hardest hard rain would be welcome!

    1. Thanks, Linda. Agreed; it has been such a hot dry summer. Some of the heat-stressed trees just dropped their dry brown leaves with no colour change at all, but for the most part everything is still green and doing better now that it’s cooler and there’s more rain!
