First Fall Foliage
I have to remember to pack the camera again; on the way back from getting the car washed (the squirrels have been gorging and hoarding furiously, and acorns and attendant oak leaves have been pelting my poor Hyundai for at least the past week making quite the crunchy mess) I noticed at least three trees whose leaves are starting to turn already! Wonder whether the weird weather from the past couple months has affected foliage timetables; I didn't expect foliage at least until the official autumnal equinox. Which, by the way, occurs at precisely 12:03 AM Eastern time on Saturday, September 23, although the Wikipedia calendar puts that as 4:03 AM UTC/GMT which is actually 5:03 AM British summer time. (Confused? You will be!) No egg-balancing attempts this year, though.
