Autumn in August


July and August are hot and dry in Kansas. That’s just how it is, but this year it isn’t.

It’s cool. It’s wet. Nearly seven inches of rain have fallen in the past two weeks, including another half inch from a spectacular thunderstorm at four this morning.

More than a week ago we noticed something strange: leaves on all the elms are turning yellow.


This morning’s thunderstorm decorated the deck with yellow leaves.


Is this an early autumn? In August?

Keep an eye out for black wooly worms.
