Greetings and welcome!
Today’s travels took me to Lakewood at sunset and to points beyond. The fall colors are a lot thinner that way than they were last week. There are still a few nice ones, but it is starting to get pretty thin.
The deer were easy to find on the way back. Quite a few were along the roads after dark.
Since yesterday’s post several people have commented on the plentiful lady beetles this year. I noticed on the way in tonight that there were quite a few dead ones on the front door sill and that is the north side of the house. Maybe they did have a good year, just not here. Try that bug spray, the stuff works good.
The forecast has changed considerably for Saturday. The NAM and GFS forecast models are now showing a more protracted storm, and rain all day until about sunset.
It was supposed to clear out between 6 and 10am, but the latest models are showing a little secondary energy that will bring more rain for the afternoon. The NAM forecast model is showing 0.75-1″ by sunset Saturday.
You just never know how it will unfold. The outlook could change dramatically in the next day. It did yesterday..
The rule around here is be ready for anything, but don’t change your plans until you actually see it rain, snow, blow, go 30 below. I have seen too many weekends where people cancelled plans based on a forecast, and due to an errant forecast they missed a great weekend. Will this be one of them? I don’t know.
Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
