It may have only lasted one day, but the rainfall in the mid-Ohio valley on Wednesday was welcomed.

Farmers and gardeners alike have been asking for rain for more than two weeks.

The growing season is not over, even though the colors on the trees are changing.

Fall type weather dries out the leaves and grasses in the region annually, but the needed rain has rejuvenated the lawns and flower beds of those who continue to tend their plants.

Outlooks for the coming four day weekend are for dry, sunny weather, returning to a pleasant fall weekend.
