1.33" rain since September 15 - one month - of which 1/02" this week, thanks to remnants of hurricane/tropical storm Nate.
There are lots of brown patches in my lawns, perhaps due to dry weather. Normally colorful leaves are turning brown and falling. Nearby small pond has dried to puddles - a month ago it was full. Perennial streams are very low. Have not heard of fires in nearby forests.
More blue jays heard than in recent years. One drank from our bird bath - never noticed before.
Tourists are out looking for fall foliage. Dry, warm weather is good for touring, and visiting our country store in Williamsburg.
Our solar PV panels respond well to all the sunshine, saving us money.
