We don't have a lot of color yet, but the summer was hotter and much drier than usual. It's 80 degrees today, but a high of 59 is forecasted for Friday. We need colder overnight temps for the vibrant colors. I'm not sure sure we'll have them this year.

It could be worse. A few years ago we had 18 inches of snow of October 4th. yuk.

I remember that--blizzard of October 1987, wasn't it? I met my husband that year; he lost a big maple in the back yard from the heavy snow.

We go to Lake George every year. It's lovely there. I feel so badly for those folks and pray for the survivors and their families.
