it's getting cooler at nights here, a sure sign that fall is on the way...in addition to the fact that we're already started to see some colors on the maples in the neighborhood. the locals say it's the trees that are not in good shape (i.e. diseased) that show colors this early.
here's a good indication that it's still 'officially' summer: there are plenty of appalachian trail through hikers trekking along main street each morning when i drive to work.
