Rain

Got the leaves off the yard…
Bring the rain.

FYI… this tree in the yard has three types of leaves, some flowers with attracts several species of bees and wasps, and some seeds. It really is a pita that does its giving starting in May and doesn’t end until October. Oh…and it’s a gutter and downspout clogger if not proactive.
 
Sassafras?
 
Sassafras?
Yeah “three types of leaves” has me stumped.
Cottonwoods can have different leaf shapes, but not usually on the same plant, more that the young ones do some weird stuff.
Other than that kinda sounds like my neighbor’s river birches.
 
Only tree I know around these parts that has all those 'attributes'...there's probably others.

I like 'em myself, good fall color, roots...root beer and syrups....but I don't have one.

Some extraordinary monsoons in southern Utah and northern Arizona. Massive flooding of Bright Angel Creek (2 dead and 15 missing) in Grand Canyon National Park and around Zion National Park. Monsoon flash floods are normal in that area, but these seem atypical. I wonder if that's the super El Nino kicking in?

Per Wikipedia, the five most powerful El Niño events in recorded history are the warming cycles of 1877–1878, 2015–2016, 1997–1998, 1982–1983, and 2023–2024 (referenced in the video). The 2023–2024 El Niño was regarded as the fifth-most powerful El Niño.
2026-2027 is going to be a RONI Very Strong El Niño event 😟 .
 
A little over 1in of rain expected in Roseburg tomorrow. Been a really long dry spell here.
