Mow 18...the final full mow of the year,  is in the books. The great fall drought of 2024 has put most of the grass to sleep.

 The new/good mower is away until next spring.  Any mowing or leaf chopping moving forward is done by the old mower  aka the yard pig.  Only 18 mows...crazy.

Just saw this - I'm at 27 and that's down a lot from last year.

52 this morning. NWS mentions the word rain on Wednesday not showers but rain. A 60% chance.

Not that it totally matters but current progs depict any rain starting Tue shortly after lunch (in the south part of our region.) Some Mesos's and Globals are not really all that wet so waiting until I see it for myself!

It is getting dry even where I live the grass has really slowed down on growing. I didn't have to get the older Craftsman to suck up the grass this week after mowing. Rain would be welcome at this point. But you need a few inches of rain to get you back in the mowing game...again.

Grass is mostly done.  It has turned an off-color green/gray.  With the limited sun it will get going forward I will just be touching up some areas which grow a bit IF it rains.   My sugar maple in the back is already about 20% on the ground which will also stop the growth covering the grass.     Fall is almost in full swing up in the mountains to my East.  About 30% of the trees have some level of change in them already.   Peak is going to be early to Mid Oct it seems.

Another couple of nice late summer days but a bit cooler tomorrow... before we see clouds and shower possibilities increasing from Tuesday through the end of the work week. There is a wide range of model rainfall amounts across the area....hoping some of the more generous models become reality this week.
Chester County Records for today: High 95 degrees at Phoenixville (1927) / Low 34 degrees at Phoenixville (1985) / Rain 3.10" at West Grove (1966)
