The Beginning of the End

 

And so it begins. We don't get much fall color here but every year this little tree is the harbinger of the end of summer. The big trees don't get the message until late October anymore but we'll get spotty color here and there from the vines and bushes. It's not quite pumpkin spice time yet but this is a good sign that cooler weather is around the corner. 

In the meantime, we'll just have to enjoy this break from the dog days as best we can.
