The birdbath

A little fall color in the birdbath this morning.   

Tropical Storm Micheal arrived here in the middle of the night..heavy rain for a while and some wind.    We have actually had worse rain and winds during a summer thunderstorm.   Now at 10am, I have walked outside in the mist and around the yard looking!    The rain is almost past us but I think the wind will stay around most of the afternoon..even when the sun comes out.  

Again we were spared.  We needed this rain here.   My son in NC got more rain than we did as usual..he is 250 miles away!     

Looking forward to the much cooler fall temperatures that will be here tomorrow.   Got hiking planned on both days!!  It will be nice to walk without soaking wet clothes!
