What a day! I had forgotten what it was like. Rain; torrential and unremitting. It rippled down the roads carrying detritus, blocking drains, finding its way into gaps and grooves. We squelched our way home, dripping a trail into the house, leaving sopping clothing along the way. We had forgotten the joys of a North Devon autumn.
This photo of Dahlia “Mystic Spirit” warmed me up. Can you feel the heat?
Off The Edge Gardening 
I got rather wet today doing the watering. I hope the plants in the cold frame and grow-houses appreciated it. I’m happier watering in the greenhouse as I’m also under cover. Resident squirrel didn’t seem to mind at all. He bathed in the fountain. BTW, I hope the trail of discarded clothing was indoors!

I always have a chuckle when I’m watering in the rain! And yes, clothes were off inside, but only just 🙂

This made me remember what rain felt like. It’s been a long long time.

Yes, I feel the heat! I’ve been noticing the golden tinge to the air when it’s sunny. It’s a different palette than summer; it’s mellow and subtle. And one thing about rain–it really cleans up the air.

The sun is much lower, I quite like it, when it is not obscured by big black clouds!

We had enough for everyone here! Today is looking pretty gloomy too. I will have a word.

rain here too, but the garden needed it. I’m just missing the sunshine and heat now. Hope it returns soon.

And me! I’m not hopeful for this week though.
