The heavy rains had caused dry creek beds to overflow again and with more rain coming, they won’t be going down real soon.

The sun did not break through the rainy day to shine on the flowers so this little red clover blossom didn’t get to glow in the evening rays today.

When I was mowing today, I watched a deer eat some of my fallen apples, a rabbit scampering around, a bunch of toads hopping away, a mouse darting through the long grass and a grasshopper who hitched a ride on my mower, and I also saw a lot of mushroom which popped up in the last few days. They ranged in shapes, colors and sizes in the cooler fall days.

The main sanctuary of the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis is surrounded by statues of the Twelve Apostles and a marble baldachino stands over the altar. On top of the stone canopy is a 9 foot statue of Mary which is under the 140 foot high interior ceiling dome. It is first church in the U.S. to be elevated by papal decree to the honor and dignity of a minor basilica.

The flowers didn’t get to glow in the sun today but instead they were dripping with moisture so the hydrangeas were ‘blue’ because of the weather.

This owl must have heard about all the food at the state fair on a stick as it seemed to be licking bugs off the car antenna like it was “bugs on a stick” treat. This was before it started a staredown with me and I think the owl cheated and turned its head when it was going to blink.

The September rains are creating trouble for farmers trying to get hay dry enough in between the wet periods so some days it is a race to get the hay raked and baled before the next storm.

The sun was out bright and the flowers seemed to glow in the sunshine, like these blue hydrangeas which matched the blue sky.

The storms overnight and additional rain today made the rivers with low fall flow, surge with rushing water again.
