The fall colours are peaking or about to peak according to The Weather Channel.   But sadly, this past weekend, rain dampened the leaf peeping show.   In fact, we had so much constant rain on Saturday that the local rivers overflowed, and towns such as Keene and Alstead suffered truly heavy damage by flood waters.   It is not often you hear about NH homes getting washed away in floods, but this week, it happened.

Sunday, Georg, friends from work, and I visited the Warner Fall Foliage Festival.   Joe G from the Bangalore office took this photo of the Warner River and one of New Hampshire's famous covered bridges.   We were hoping to park the truck here to walk to town....   Nope.   Not a good idea.

The festival?   It was a kick despite the rain.   Lots of good food, including whole steamed lobsters!, were being cooked up, there were a lot of crafts for sale, our puppy got lots of pats from people, we watched chainsaw and woodchopping competitions, and we listened to a Scottish bagpipe band play!   An odd mix of stuff, but good fun.

So it continues to rain in New England... weather which matches the spirits of the Red Sox fans.... and will until Saturday.   A real shame for those who wanted to see the fall colors...   But Sunday is supposed to be nice.   Hopefully, there will be some good color left to see.
