The month of October was a rainy one. Grover and Juniper Underwood were only able to work out doors intermittently, whenever the sky was clear. Rain was beneficial for the newly planted seeds but it made their wool clothes heavy and uncomfortable.
Farmer Underwood's barnyard was a busy, noisy building sight all through the month. The roofs of the cowshed and the pig pen needed repair.

Between rain spells, Leo watched Farmer Underwood go into the fields to cut bracken with which to re-thatch the roofs.  Juniper waved to Leo whenever he spotted her going to henhouse to gather eggs or into the garden to gather whatever salad greens were left that time of year, such as garden rocket.
