@steve-miller very nice picture! We had deer in upstate NY. Some people think fall is the most beautiful season. I think it's winter. I guess summer would be a strong contender too. I always thought spring was the most dramatic change personally. I don't know about where you are but November was our nothing to see here time. The leaves were gone and the snow hadn't arrived. I miss the four seasons. I wouldn't want to live in that part of the world again but it has a lot to recommend it.

This has been a long cold spell for us & the pianos reflect that! Tuned at a high school today. It was 60%+ humidity when I last tuned and 30% today. As you might guess, they were about 35 cents flat of A=440 (100 cents = a half step, or sounding the next note)

I've had a few more calls for sticking/sluggish parts as the wood of the action/keys shrink and cause binding. Ah, the seasonal piano dance for Chicago!

I love Chicago! It's my favorite American city. Just saying.

Rained all day again, our lawn is mud, so have started hosepiping the dogs' legs before letting them back in.
On a positive note, after the driest summer since 1893 they just lifted the last hosepipe ban in the south of England.

I don't like rainy days as much as dry ones but for the trivial reason I don't have to clean up mud and have time to see to other stuff.
We have water. There are mains that need to be fixed every few months. The manager sends a crew immediately and we don't go without water for more than an hour or two.
We didn't get a lot of rain last summer. The weeds and grass didn't grow in the rock beds that needed to be replaced from the beginning. Again, I could see to other stuff.
There were no hurricanes on our side of the Gulf including Louisiana.
It was a lucky break after we the had two catastrophic hurricanes the previous season.
One caused major damage to my place. It took a year to get everything renovated and cleaned up.
I would be remiss not to mention the other hurricane caused catastrophic damage up through North Carolina after hitting us south of here.
I love rainy days all things being equal.
