Finally...

... there's a bit of Autumn in the air.

Today the air was cool and crisp, and after the dry heat of the past month it felt wonderful.

After lunch we drove out to the stable for M's physical therapy, and I took a walk while he rode.

It still mostly looks like summer, although I did  find some splashes of red on the scrub oak...

... but the old cottonwood tree out behind the stable still has only a few yellow leaves. Our temperatures have been nowhere near freezing yet, but they said it got down to 37 at the stable Monday night. It won't be long before those green leaves turn golden and drop away...

I'm so ready for cooler weather...
