Welcome to October

Here we are launching into our first week of October and the weather has been a real treat. It's not so good if you're needing moisture, but farmers are happy with the dry stretch as they finish up planting next year's wheat crop. There will not be much in the way of rainfall this week as we have one big system on the east coast, and one on the west coast, and right down the middle of the country, it should be rather quiet.

The sunny days and cool nights are perfect when it comes to optimizing the fall color around Kansas. Assuming the trees have had enough moisture, we should have some spectacular colors here in a few weeks. I've already seen several trees around town starting to change, and it won't be long now before we have an abundance of color. If you send me your fall pictures, I'd be happy to share them on the blog. rjanssen@kwch.com Have a wonderful week.
