Rainy Day From My Front Porch

This time it's more than a sprinkle. Not enough to help the drought yet I'm afraid. It's a parched earth here with mandatory water restrictions. No fall planting of trees or bulbs. Just time to gather leaves to make mulch for the spring raised flower beds. Next week we're mild again with a few days in the upper sixties. I love that and I'll tough it out with a few gloomy days as long as they bring rain. I hope forecasts are wrong for a dry winter but wouldn't it be nice to have just one big upstate New York snow?
