September was yet again a nice summer weather month.  We missed the prolonged wet rain events along the east coast. Morning temperatures were mainly in the 40’s and 50’s. A few 60’s edged in on a few mornings. Afternoon readings were in the 60s and mid 70’s . We had 25 foggy mornings and three thunderstorms.  The average high temperature for September is 69 degrees and the average low is 45.  
Average monthly rainfall is 4.13″ This year we received 3.95″ Last year the reading was 5.99″ 
Pine Creek is looking good and of course the lawn tractors are roaring away full force. Perhaps the lawns will be mowed now until Christmas. Do you remember when we stopped mowing on Labor Day?  Well have a good Fall. The leaves are turning very slowly and will not be as colorful this year. Keep your snow shovel and blade for the tractor at the ready.
