I'm mostly glad the 'growing season' is intact for a bit because my zinnias and mexican sunflowers are covered in buds Some nights I've worried about the latter but they've been champs. Hummingbirds long gone, bees still enjoying. I will leave some of this standing over the winter for bird seed.

it doesn't translate super well in photo, but I liked how these leaves still on the tree looked a bit like they're floating

Wee glimpse of sun at sunset. Dreary day but fall colors are hitting now, looked great. Sunshine will be welcome but i enjoy the gray/bright leaves contrast thing too...drearier the better for that actually...

Not sure I've seen this one before, heh Drizzle likely, mainly after 3am. The drizzle could be heavy at times. Patchy dense fog. Otherwise, cloudy, with a low around 58. Northeast wind 3 to 6 mph.

CWG mentioned/linked this today: https://www.space.com/34373-orionid-meteor-shower-guide.html "The Orionid meteor shower will peak between Oct. 21 and Oct. 22 and will remain active until early November. Viewing conditions for the Orionids are favorable this year with relatively little moonlight getting in the way of spotting the streaking meteors. Sometimes the Orionid meteor shower produces spectacular displays of up to 80 meteors an hour, but in recent years it has produced more modest displays of about 20 or 30 visible meteors per hour. The Orionid meteor shower is produced when Earth passes through the debris or ice and dust left behind from Comet 1P/Halley, more commonly known as Halley's Comet."

Yes. No "muted" deal this year. It's really nice.

The WTI (winter thread index) is strongly positive, which usually indicates mid-Atlantic weenies are READY TO TRACK, even the remotest possibility of snow. I know I am.

reality bites

Haha, well clearly you are her hero I was not without fear but a) I've relocated smaller sneks, and b) seen others relocate these and survive lol. He/she was a whopper though. Weirdest part was, at first I was like, huh why is the weatherstripping at the bottom of the door all flattened out and wavy like that, what could have happened to it OOOOOHHHHHHH. Still MIA, btw. Hopefully outside
