You guessed it. It’s raining. Perfectly symbolic way to end this summer (although I want to quickly remind you that summer is NOT over yet…even though the yard is now littered with fallen leaves from the walnut trees). Speaking of walnut trees…those damned things can get a bit depressing. Yes, they’re huge and gorgeous and shade the yard just when the summer is at its hottest. But they’re the last tree to leaf out in the spring and the first tree to drop their leaves—usually beginning in August. I mean, please. I get a little bit blue when they first start to shed. Why this in-your-face reminder that winter is on its way? Okay, okay, okay. I got it. But remember, I’ve been to the UP…so, bring it on.
