Strange Times

When I first glanced up at this tree I thought it was covered with a swarm of butterflies.

I took a closer look and saw that it was a few of the tree's leaves changing color. 

Autumn is persevering in spite of the unseasonably hot temperatures.  The highs should be in the fifties for this time of year, with lows in the mid-thirties.  We had a few days like that, but today the high was in the mid-seventies!  The weather people are saying that the storm that was here last week, now over Texas, will back up and give us rain next week!  The rain would be most welcome, but I can't ever remember a storm backing up.  These are strange times indeed...
