This photo from yesterday epitomizes the reality of mid-autumn here -- the maple trees are DEFINITELY saying, "Winter is coming!" but the palm tree represents summer saying, "Now, just wait a minute -- stop rushing it!" Yesterday was so warm that I was uncomfortably warm until 2:30pm ... and then by 11:00pm I was putting extra quilts on my bed ... as usual, summer and winter are fussing over what to do here... and LAST YEAR, summer won!
