It's as if a switch is pulled on Labor Day. One minute it's summer, and the next it's fall. The leaves of lindens - native basswoods and others - are just starting to turn yellow and fall. The season is turning.
There's a hint of red in many of the trees and shrubs.
The wildflowers along our road are at their peak in early September.
The late summer wildflowers are blooming everywhere.
The first few weeks of September are melancholy. Summer is slipping away, and winter seems as if it's just around the corner. But after awhile, you realize that fall is one of Minnesota's finest seasons, and that you've got another few months of glorious cool weather and beautiful fall colors.
