We stayed in the house Sat and chose not to rake leaves on a perfectly sunny day. It was a bit windy, but generally dry. As quickly as the sun went down, so did the temperature and up came the forcast for more rain.
We had one of the dryest summers on record in Minneapolis, but somehow we've almost caught up to the average rainfall totals for the season, and it all came in October.
I love the soft cool rains we've been having, but it's not terribly conducive to raking leaves and winterizing the flower gardens. Do I need to cover the roses with leaves...or will that lead to additional rodents hibernating beneath the grass and leaves? I just want to get the slippery wet muck off the lawn before the white fluffy stuff falls, and then it's too late to do anything with it. When spring comes, I'd hate to see what black muddy muck is laying on the grass.
"Oh rainy days and Mondays always get me down."
