I would say we are well into autumn with blustery winds and quickly changing skies. Leaves are fluttering throughout the moist air; the grass is growing faster than a leapfrog on a mission and the fall mushrooms are surging up through the damp soil. Migrating birds are getting in their migrating formations and squirrels are busy as a beaver stashing their winter food supply in hidden alcoves.
Don’t you love fall? I know many of you do and are enjoying the change of seasons, the colorful leaves (maybe not the raking) and of course the seasonal treats and drinks. I see fields of pumpkins waiting for a home and when skies clear later today and briefly on Friday, some new snow once again on the higher peaks.
Wednesday there were some heavy downpours; I know I was caught in one while crossing the river to Portland. Then I reached totally dry pavement and sunshine. And so it goes much like springtime.
With a break in the weather action today and early Friday, some unsettled weather returns over the weekend lasting into early next week. Then in the middle of next week we could enjoy a couple dry days again. We are now entrained in the usual fall weather pattern of a few wet days and then a couple dry days. Plan your activities accordingly.
