Unusual October

October is generally one of my favorite months, but this year it has been gloomy and we've had record breaking amounts of rain. The wet days have been punctuated, here and there, by a dry sunny day, only to revert to rain in a day or two. The rain has beaten many of the leaves off the trees early, so we've lost some of the fall color we would normally have. It also makes it hard to deal with the dogs, neither of whom particularly likes to go out in the rain. When I can coax them outside either due to a break in the rain, or out of their own desperation, I then have to wipe their paws are they come back inside, and there has been a little too much paw wiping for their comfort as well as mine. Tomorrow is supposed to provide some respite, so I hope to get out with my camera and seek a little color before all the leaves have dropped.
