Take a hard look at this image:
Those are maple tree leaves at their peak summer magnificence being ruffled by a slight breeze on a 72-degree (F) day last week.
It’s hard to tell how many more days like that, if any, we’ll have. Today, aAs we speak, it’s a gray, raw, and rainy day here, with 15-mile-an-hour wind gusts coming of the sea that make the 61-degree temperature feel colder. Leaves are fading and a few are falling. (Brooklin, Maine)
