Most Michigan residents like to travel around in the fall looking at the wonderful colors. The state does a good job of promoting fall color tours. But this year, not so much color. It is 74 degrees F right now and the sun is shining in a crystal blue sky.
Two years ago I planted a 'Sun Valley' Maple. I wanted some lovely color in the front yard, since most of my trees just turned yellow. I was beginning to think I would not see color this year, but lo and behold, it has arrived despite the high temps.

Our temps are supposed to drop this coming week. I am very glad this tree at least had the chance to change before winds blow the leaves off of it.
