a dry fall

There has been no rain here for a bit now and none in the upcoming forecast. It feels weird to have it be so dry here, but really nice because we get to see the leaves change. Usually it justs dumps rain and then the leaves just fall into a mushy pile in about 2 days. This is our beloved smoke tree we planted given to us by Grammie when we moved into this house. It's 5 years old now and just amazing this time of year.
