I looked out the window this morning, and noticed that the maple tree is starting to show it’s fall glory. About an hour later, even more change.
Loverly.

All 'e wants is a room somewhere,
Far away from the cold night air …
I have a swamp maple that started to drop it’s leaves in mid-August starting a year or so ago. I think we pissed it off dumping the washing machine drain over it’s roots.
Definitely does not feel like fall here yet. We just ended a week of over 90 degree temps and 90% humidity. Still hot and somewhat humid, but some relief today.
Last week, in the thick of it, I re-built a failed retailing wall by shoveling just under a ton of 1 1/4 inch stone and moving a couple of dozen wall blocks . I was thinking of challenging Andy to the most T-Shirts soaked through per-hour. The wall did survive torrential rain both Friday and Saturday.
Jon, I can soak 4 T-shirts on 4 wall bricks and 3 shovels of gravel… 
Sounds to me like one of those Tom Sawyer challenges…
(or how to get someone to like painting a white picket fence…)
Why in the heck would you two challenge each other?
Hire a couple “Hooters” girls!
…grinning…
It’s 99 here today so it’s not quite fall yet.
