And up here in the "rainy Pacific Northwest", the shrubs in my yard are desperately wishing and hoping for some rain; rhododendrons look so sad when their leaves are limp. People to the north of me got some rain a week or so ago, but I had to set the sprinkler because none fell here, and now everything is dry again. It's nice and gray outside right now, but those clouds don't seem to be giving up any moisture. My yard man is going to chastise me for not watering, but that just seems so wrong in the middle of October, especially when you live in a place with a reputation for wetness. I'm feeling cheated.
