Changing of the seasons
The usual signs of fall are changing of the forest colors from the many hues of green to the festival red, yellow, blue (blue?? just checking for your attention), tan and other forest “tones.” However, it’s just the middle of September and if the fall colors haven’t peaked yet, it’s going to happen in the next 3-5 days.
I’m hoping it’s just due to the summer lack of rain, and we’ll have a nice long fall season. On the other hand, it could be because snow is coming. Either way, I can’t pull a lever for “long, nice fall” or push a stop button for “Snow in September”
