All right, I don't care what causes it (although it is a play of chemical reactions, less sunlight, cooler temperatures, and whatnot), but there are some wonderful things going on outside - coming soon to YOUR neighborhood!I was driving along the Front Range today, in the mountains around Denver, and I got to see the Aspen turning. Turning what, you may ask? Lemon yellow! These Quaking Aspen (and yes, there are other varieties of poplars) shake in the breeze, given their roundish shape, and just this week have begun their seasonal change from lovely green to lovely yellow. The aspen trees stand out amongst the green pine trees all up & down the mountainsides.
And this is just a harbinger of things to come in your own neighborhood (if, in fact, you live in the Northern Hemisphere; otherwise, bookmark this entry and save it for next April.)
As for me, yes, well, I am READY for autumn. Apples and acorns. Pumpkins and the whole falling leaves bit.
