I'm not listening!
Yes indeed. On my way to Eastern PA this weekend, I noticed the leaves starting to change.
But at 80 degrees, it's hard to think of Autumn.
I'm quite happy to see the leaves change. To see them dry up and crumple off the trees however, I could do without. brrr.
Lovely Autumn colours in your leaves. Our leaves in UK are much slower to change and rarely reach the heights of those in the US' Michigan looks as colourful as New England which is always where people from here go to see the colour.
Thank-you for your comment on my blog. You sound as if you speak from experience. Yes?
