Nooooooo! It's just because we've had so little rain!

(Don't mind me, I'll be in denial about summer's ending until mid-December, when I'll suddenly begin hoping for a classic "white Christmas")

My dogwoods are still green but I've always noticed some leaf changes come August. There was a bit of yellow showing in the scenery when I was riding down 287 the other day.

The catsbirds sitting in the spice bush waiting for the berries to ripen is one of the first signs of fall here at my place.

The winterberry holly has berries already half red, the dogwood is the same. The Itea is turning terra cotta color. Robins have already congregated into troops.
