    2 inches of rain here in 2 days. That's what was in my rain guage this morning. Normally Oct. is the driest month of the year for us, but not this year. My sugar maple tree that was such a pretty orange last year was a complete flop this year. The leaves barely got turned yellow and now almost all of them are on the ground from the wind and rain. The ones that are still on the tree will be gone today. They aresaying winds of 20 to 30 mph. today.

    Same here. October is always our driest month, but not this one. All this rain has made my new garden happy.
