Please make these horrible dreams stop!

Update: Despite warm temperature (over 45 degrees) this morning, lots of rain came along, and I’m afraid that that’s what caused a significant amount of leaves to fall. Otherwise, however, I was really looking forward to the peak of the colors of the leaves. I will try to make use of what color remains. Without the rain, the best time for fall color would’ve been around the 5th of November, and I could tell by the way that the enormous maple tree in my backyard has changed color. But at least what I can do is take some photos, which is exactly what I did today, and compare them over the years (by coming back and taking a near identical photo of the same place from the same position exactly one year apart) to possibly show the effects that potentially changing climate has on the autumn colors!
