Frosty field October 4th
the past two nights we have gotten frost. Thursday Night was the warmest of the two. places such as Rice Lake and Cumberland reached the upper 20s where they got a hard killing frost. Warmer in other areas Amery dipped to 35.F and Clayton ( my place ) 34.F Friday Night was the coldest of the two. most places has a killing frost, here at Clayton the entire corn crop was effected, also most annuals were effected in all the gardens at my place, the frost was defiantly a killing frost. the Growing season has now officially ended in most communities. here are some reports of low temperatures Friday Night across the area.

Wet weather is ahead for Northwest Wisconsin. a very large system over the Western US Will eject into the Midwest, bringing showers and thunderstorms starting Sunday afternoon. Wet weather should last though most of next week. with a good chance of Showers and Thunderstorm everyday. with the wet weather it will be warmer with highs getting into the 60s and night lows staying in the upper 40s to low 50s
Special plant?
here is one of my plants that I thought would be interesting to share. this is a Geranium. which was giving to me by someone named Evelyn from Dallas,WI where she is a neighbor of my Grandparents. I believe this plant is at least 20 years old, bark has developed on the lower parts of the plant, and instead of being the shape of a bush, it has more of a small tree shape. what she would do is hang them from her garage in the winter and them plant them back outdoors in the summer! this year I'm going to try to overwinter it in the house, instead of drying them out because Last year I lost one.
