0.72" of rain this week, 6.53" in the last 30 days. Finally getting a run of sunny days. Corn and early soybean harvest has begun. Preparing garden for winter. Lawn grass is still green and growing. A few maple leaves are just starting to show color. Turkey flocks are consolidating, geese have left. Starting to see deer rubs on tree trunks. There are still pools of standing water in traditional low spots, area ponds are full, creeks and field drains are flowing. Mosquitoes are still making outdoor work difficult most days.
