I’m happy to report that the Meteghan River is flowing once again. The water has breeched the top of the dam. It was down as much as two feet below the top.

The grand total, 30mm over the course of the weather event. More rain in one storm than we’ve had in total since May, though that’s not saying much. We are grateful, and just before Thanksgiving.

My most prolific plant. It’s an Acapulco Gold strain and my bend and tie experiment is paying off. The top cola is the size of my fist. #homegrown
