Local trees shedding leaves, but they’re just curled and brown, very little or no fall colors. At least the cooler temps and lower humidity are keeping the mosquitos down. Birds and squirrels busily working the feeders as we move deeper into fall. Non-irrigated lawns turning dry, brown and crunchy. Pool needs constant water added as the low humidity and breezy conditions with no rain keep slowly dropping the water level. Local cotton fields look close to harvest.
