[Magdalen] The Last Rose of Summer.

[cantor03 at aol.com]

The USA Northeast has been unusually warm, wet and humid all summer
and well into the autumn.  As a result, the trees give the appearance of
mid-summer and the fall colors are essentially absent.  It is the
wettest year ever recorded here in the Pennsylvania Poconos
 
It's all very odd.  I used to think of Saint Luke's Day (18th October)
as being the peak of coloration, but not this year.
 
There are now some cooler days, and autumn may once again
dominate.
