An Early Fall?

I was hoping that it was only my imagination, but it wasn't. It is mid-August and a tree next to one of our neighborhood grocery stores has begun to turn colors. I was flabbergasted. I picked up one of the fallen, red leaves and brought it home to show Doc. I'm used to Augusts that are just miserably hot and too often muggy, not ones with the early signs of autumn.



Ok, you expected to see a tree with red leaves and this one only has a few leaves at the top that are turning. Still ... August ... red leaves?! I didn't even see that in Milwaukee.
