The hot days stuck around for a while, in what was called "Indian Summer", but I think it was just an extension of "regular summer". (Do 100 degree days count as Indian Summer?) But now, they have disappeared and the cooler weather is here - especially cooler nights. It will dip down to 39 degrees tonight.
With the temperature changes (and a drought) come the leaf changes! I haven't gotten a picture of my own yet this year, so we've got a stock image for this post. But fear not! I'll have one as soon as things start looking prettier. :)
Right now, the leaves have just started changing and falling. But, because of the drought, they're going straight to brown. Which is pretty normal for Memphis, I've noticed. It makes me miss home and the beautiful colors we get up north. Sure, you'll find some pretty patches here and there, but we really really need some rain around here...
Next on the agenda is to start thinking about Halloween and Thanksgiving! We can also get our garden work done outside since it's not "unsafe" to be out in the sun anymore. ;)
