Jesus! Unbelievable! A perfect fall day—incredibly blue skies, a brisk wind, very low humidity… the kind of day that makes you totally glad you were born. It’s such a relief, too, after this long, humid, incredibly hot summer. The only thing is that it’s been dry for the last month, and leaves are falling already, only instead of turning colors, they are drying up and falling off. The sycamores look particularly threadbare.
