Ian Brings Rain.

10-4-22 SHORT HILLS: Hurricane Ian tore through Florida and then South Carolina doing lots of damage. Now the remnants of the storm have been camped out on top of us for three days or so. We’ve had maybe an inch of rain and occasional gusty winds with a few small branches down in the yard. 

It’s been cold here. The screens are out and the storms are in. The heat has been on for a couple of days. 

Most of the grackles have moved on and the usual feeder birds are getting a chance at the seeds. We are off to VT tomorrow for foliage and chores.

The grackles manage to look menacing when just eating sunflower seeds.
