Weird Weather

The leaves are starting to turn, which means that fall is just around the corner. Or is it? This past summer has been an unusual one. It almost seems as if summer was our spring or fall. The weather was cold and it always seemed to be raining. I can't really remember a whole lot of times when I was able to actually leave the house without having to put a sweatshirt or raincoat on.
Now that fall is just around the corner, you'd think that we would be having cool weather and within a few weeks, the trees should be getting ready to start turning color. However, that isn't the case. It's getting warmer now and the 80 degree weather that we should have had the past 3 months is now just starting to take effect. And what about those trees? About three weeks ago they already started to change! That's crazy! It makes me wonder what kind of a winter we are going to have. I hope it's a mild one!
