fall fascinations

the odd weather we’ve been having!!!!  it is blistering hot, and all the coats and sweaters are in the closet, and the next day it is Fall.  The leaves on the dogwood trees have all been brushed with red.  The days are cooler and nights are crisp.   however there was none of that nice period of sunnier but cooler weather and greenery. the landscape is pretty while the economy totters on toward collapse.
