The fall equinox has occurred.

The days now start getting shorter and shorter until just before Christmas.

After helping my father-in-law button up his screen porch facing Wonder Lake, I drove to Sam’s Club where I noticed the leaves were yellow.

Who remembers his or her botany enough to be able to tell me what species of tree this is?

Come on.

I’ve even given you a close-up of the leaf.

In our family, this week means two months until Disney World, including Mickey’s Backyard Bar-B-Q on Thanksgiving.

And just three months to Christmas. (I bought a stocking stuffer today.)
