A Colorful Confusion ...

Finally, we got rain. The grass has quickly turned green, 

and the reservoirs are filling up. It's less than

three weeks to the end of summer and we're finally

getting the balmy evenings we generally

associate with the season.

But some of the plants are a bit confused.

This little tree has fruit for the birds, its leaves

are anticipating the fall a few weeks from now,

as well as trying to bloom as if it's spring.

All the colors look beautiful, though,

in their colorful confusion.
