| A total of 2.20" of rain fell over the past week with most of it falling Thursday. And once again our NWS did a great job forecasting, as they predicted 2-3" of rain throughout the 2 day event. Right now the surface is pretty wet but not quite severely wet, so going with moderately wet soil conditions seems about right. Area waterways are up to near bank full while the nearby Beaver Creek is just over its banks and running muddy. Trees are finally beginning to show a bit of color but are still thick with leaves, for the most part. Area lawns continue growing surprisingly fast and require mowing about every 4 days, so far, but with shorter days and cooler nights growing conditions are bound to slow down. Wildlife is not too busy yet but the squirrels are tenaciously getting into my pumpkins, which I now wrap in metal screening for the time being. And the boxelder bugs have finally started showing up but so far their numbers are low. So far. If only squirrels ate boxelder bugs. Probably not going to happen. Well definitely. |

This moisture will help our grass and trees going into fall and will make a difference next spring as well. Some rye, triticale and wheat are up and a lot will be planted in the next 2 weeks. Fall harvest is stalled and needs some dry days. |

| Conditions here remain severely dry. On Oct. 1 we were about 13+ inches below "the normal yearly average." The rain year ending Sept.2026 was roughly 17+ inches behind the average. This is the driest we have seen here in 9 years, assuming the "drought" started in late October 2025. Lawns are starting to yellow and leaves are changing. We have seen several large deciduous and pine trees withering and assume will likely die. People continue with their routines. Our water use and "no burn" restrictions are still in force. Haw River flow is very low with some of the channel bed now exposed near shore. Animals are out foraging and birds now empty our feeder about every 3 days. |

Fall colors are just getting noticeable on the trees. Mostly yellows from birches but the maples are starting to show some reds and oranges too.

| Finally! After ten weeks of almost nothing, we finally got a good rain, less so far than some nearby spots, but enough for a week of recovery. Fire danger is reduced (burn bans have not expired yet) and grass and other vegetation is responding well. As much as anything, spirits are improved! A bit more rainfall is predicted, and would be appreciated, and the cooler days ate a wonderful change. |
