Our summer has been cold, foggy and windy so far. Here we are in August and the temperature might get up to 70 degrees, but winds continue to blow in from the Bay. My unit is up on the 3rd floor and all see are the trees blowing in the breeze. So far, it has been too cold to sit out on my deck... I really love being out side. We do have a protected patio downstairs. Today, I took my book down there and read for an hour this morning.
Having said that -- I will take this cool version of summer over the heat of the rest of the country any day! I can always put on a sweater to enjoy my outdoor walks, but when it is hot and humid, there is not much you can do to stay comfortable.
I'm seeing some early signs of Fall around here in some of the foliage. These grape leaves were so beautiful, I had to bring a couple inside and paint them.

When we were in the SF area several yrs ago, I remember that it was cool most of the time-which surprised me. I thought all of Calif. was warm! I think it must be the fog and Bay area :-)
We are having unusual heat this summer--most of our Michigan days are in the 90's Whew! But I'll remember this in January when it is snowing and blowing and cold. Your leaves are lovely--don't want to see them "turning" yet :-)
Beautiful leaves and a great page for a different kind of summer. We have finally gotten hot with last night only dropping to 80 degrees. I'll be having the air-conditioner on again today! This is typical of how we've experienced most summers but this year it took till the end of July to reach summer temps.
There's magic to be found in the careful study of leaves. Lovely page thank you.
