Summer in October in Minnesota

Today is October 6th. A time in Minnesota when we should be wearing heavy long sleeved shirts and raking leaves and cleaning out gardens. But today it was 85 the humidity was about the same and the wind which has been none stop lately has blown the leaves up against fences. I guess that part is OK. It will be easier to gather them. But alas, there are still many to fall from the trees. The wind and rain have done a job on our beautiful fall color we usually get here. The bright yellows, oranges and red leaves pretty much have been blown from the trees about as fast as they turn. After having a dry dry summer, this fall has been very wet. Within the last 3 weeks we have gotten about 9 inches of rain. Nutty weather. I just hope that this ease of liquid to fall from the sky doesn't continue into winter when that 9 inches of rain could turn into 60 - 90 inches of snow!!! UGH!!

Well just wanted ya all to know (who don't live in MN) what is going on with our weather here. But listening to the news and to friends and relatives, it seems the weather around the world is strange. Is it a sign of the times??

Blessings to all
