Greetings and welcome!<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The deer were easy to find on the way back. Quite a few were along the roads after dark.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
You just never know how it will unfold. The outlook could change dramatically in the next day. It did yesterday..<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!<\/p>\n
