I was out and about yesterday, and was surprised at the changes in the foliage, especially since it really hasn't been that cold yet. Most of the trees have lots of yellow in them now, and some of them have that funky peach color they get right before they change completely.
The sumacs have really gone yellow, and I saw a couple different stands of burning bush that were bright red already. The stands of corn are all khaki-brown, and a lot of the fields that were planted to squash or pumpkins were being harvested. Some of the fields have been harvested and have been worked over already.
It's funny....last summer seemed to drag on forever, and this summer whipped by so fast it was gone before you knew it. And while I am looking forward to those cooler temperatures (the long-term forecast here for next week is predicting highs only in the low 60s), I know what's coming after that, LOL. Time to break out the field jackets and parkas.
