So on the drive down to work today, was noticing that the little trees are all starting to turn. There are dead leaves skittering around in the road.

Did the tree fairies somehow forget that it's still August? Fall isn't until September twenty-something, people.

Maybe it's just that we haven't had a good rain for a while, so that it's not that the leaves actually think it's fall, but just the drought. Everything, even the green stuff, is looking kind of wilty lately.

It can't be fall. I'll have to stop wearing shorts and a tank top to work, and go back to strange hours that involve missing meals. I didn't go camping, or down to the beach yet. I only got sunburned one pitiful time.

So. It should rain, and turn everything green and new and June again.
