Soon Autumn

Autumn is sneaking up on us. Slowly creeping. It starts in late June when the leaves of Flowering Dogwood begin to let a bit of red seep into the green. Not enough that anyone notices. Anyone except the ones that are tuned into such things. I notice it every year. And now, some of those Dogwood trees have berries that are red. Announcing serious intentions. Autumn is on its way.
