Same here - We've had a couple of crisp mornings but mostly our days
hover in the mid 60s to mid 70s.
In normal times we'd be in full-on leaf raking mode. So far I have seen
only one oak tree showing a colour shift to red. All others are green
still. Even the sumac trees which usually are harbingers of autumn
haven't begun their red blaze colouring.

Fishing, unless one makes a living at it, is mostly and excuse to sit
in a boat or an a bank and drink beer whilst listening to sports talk
on the portable radio. Bv)=
My favourite fishing hole these days is Roberts' Fish Market.
CB> mmmm another one in the books to try at some point.
It must be fall - even if the trees and temperatures aren't falling
into line. It's pumpkin spice everything season and my sister-in-law
gave me this recipe:
Get a mixing bowl and your measuring spoons. Blend it
all together and pour into an appropriate container.
This recipe is adjustable. Add some more ginger if you
like it a bit hotter, Or more cinnamon if you want it
a bit "sweeter". Don't increase the nutmeg, though,
unless you want to overpower the blend and blow some
one's head off.
From a hand-written recipe card in my sister-in-law's
recipe box. My brother swears it's good even when
she's not within hearing distance.
