It is a wild night. I look at the moon behind ragged clouds. Will I see the October Draconids? They are a meteor shower – the remnants of a broken comet . Earth passes across this celestial litter, and fragments burn up in our upper atmosphere. We see these as little shooting stars. I need to seek in the opposite direction, but it is too cloudy. The day was showery as well – rain showers. Lots of things fell from the trees. Here are a few chestnuts. The cases are prickly and the nuts are small. They are difficult for animals. I prefer Italian chestnuts myself! There are plenty of mushrooms/toadstools as well if you are brave. But beware.
