Rains have hit the Thumb quite hard this last week. The leaves on this ash tree (left photo) were brilliant last Wednesday. The same tree, photographed six days later, has been stripped of its leaves as has the woods behind it.
I emptied 1.75 inches out of the rain gauge at the lake. Ed reports almost five inches at the farm where the drive back to the barn is muddy and the garden is soggy.
The autumn rain is quite a contrast to the drought that gripped this area in mid-summer.
