I see NY city flooded badly with the rain. So bad their old sewer system couldn't handle it. The Mayor was also late in passing on warning about the chances of flooding happening which didn't help the situation.

The weather here and the temperatures have been like mid-summer.

A mini "heatwave" forecast for this week, temperatures up to the low 20sC which is 5C or 6C above normal for October. Quite good in Hay-on-Wye too dry and 17C. 

Our mountains are getting ready to put on their fall fashion show.  The Virginia Creeper and Burning Bushes will be crimson before long.  My favorite time of year is here.

Fall is my favorite time of the year, too.

My burning bush is already turned a dark red. I imagine we are a couple to 3 weeks ahead of you guys with the colour change. Toronto which is only 75 kms. roughly 28 miles south of me is usually a week or two behind us with the colours. The Lake Ontario water being warm may be the cause of that.

It has been 25C here Mark for the last 3 days and no rain. Almost what we call an Indian summer.

Arrr yes, the much fabled mini heatwave. If I had a quid for every mini heatwave that never arrived I'd be off on a freebie holiday. As for autumn, you can have it, cold, wet, dull and just death and destruction on a galactic scale. Give me spring every time. And talking of birds coming and going, we got a huge arrival of Partridges just now, more than I've ever seen here.

So your burning bush is dark red Pete, how are your onions?

A beautiful church in Beverley and it's not even a Cathedral but a Minster.

Not something you think has to be invented eh?

Most all the local vegetables have already been picked Tommy but there is still potatoes, corn and soy bean in the ground.

I haven't been for a drive around the marsh this year but I imagine the onions are laying out in rows to dry before collecting and crating. Of course with all of the harvesting going on prices have dropped at the grocery stores. Pumpkins have turned orange and are on all the shelves for the Halloween rush.

Our Thanksgiving this year is Monday, October 9.

Have you treated yourself to watching Canadian Football this year yet?

And what's your thoughts on it Tom?
