Where does the time go?

Here we are in Sept. The summer late spring started well and then the rains came. We had more or less 6 weeks of rain here in nh. then a small dry period and then more rain. I am sitting here reviewing and watching the green blob of Hanna tearing up the coast. It should deliver intense downpours of rain this evening and tonight. Sort of like a baseball game, but this rainout has been several months long. Last winter we had record snow and this summer we have had way above average rain. certainly the pattern fits well with the predictions of climate change. I wonder what this sort of pattern does for the amount of food that can be produced here in NH. The temps are certainly higher, but if the violence of the storms continues like this it will be hard to have a highly productive garden.
