On September 2nd, I noticed a funny thing.
Our firebush by the deck was starting to have a reddish tinge in its leaves.
Over the next couple of days, flickers of color started to pop up in singular trees among the forests of green.
Fall is here in the 'up north' country.
Today, the Sunday before Labor day, I saw the oranges, red, and golds beginning to creep along in earnest among the tree population.
Wow! I'd heard from a number of people that Northeners love their summers, even if they are short. And this summer the grumble has been "what summer?" since it's been rainier and cooler than normal. But I'm only now starting to realize how fleeting and brief summer really is......
