Almost Four Inches



The rain gauge at Cedar Bluff shows almost four inches from the autumn storm that swirled and twirled on the weather maps over the Midwest this week. Our patio furniture and garden pots were blown helter skelter. Some parts of the Lake Huron shoreline had power outages.

The Graywood Farm rain gauge collected an inch and a quarter. In this photo taken this morning, you can see how the storm stripped the leaves from the trees on the fence line at Eddy's across the highway from Cedar Bluff. The orange rose hips are on the Mary Beth rose, part of the six sister roses that are along the split rail fence in front of the lakehouse.

Michigan Sugar stopped taking beets during the storm. We got out the winter hats and gloves. My knitting thoughts turned to a new scarf. The golf clubs are idle. It was a good week to stay inside and start planning for Thanksgiving.
