Fall is late this year

 

Does almost daily rain keep the fall, at least the fall colours, at bay? It's chilly at night. The days are certainly much shorter. And yet the trees are late showing their fall colours this years. Oh well, it is easy to be patient when one is getting old, circulation is failing and the Canadian winter is running late. A few extra weeks of fall weather is fine.

Oh, and about the recent rain., yes heavy, frequent rain is said by some to delay the appearance of coloured leaves and when the leaves do turn, they may be a bit washed out compared to much drier, more drought like, late summers and early falls.
