Hi Vic, Hi Arura!! Beautiful waking on this foggy late summer morning greeted by your friendly words, and the sound of one lone Chickadee singing heard through this open window that remains open from early spring thaw until the snow flies... should still have another solid month of warmth before things change that way.

The leaves fell off the trees for the extreme heat? That's stress! Fall color change across this land is coming early for the stresses of the dry hot summer. Oh it IS spectacular to see vast streches of maple and oak rolling woodland turn to firey red, blazing yellow, and every shade of orange imaginable, before fading to bronze and gold and silvery brown. More color than the mind can absorb, really.
