A bit of early fall color showing in the usual spots near me. Not just the swamp maples. Those started a couple of weeks back.
caterpillars looking to move in.
still might do a dip in the pool later this week, just for fun
Something similar happened to me. I dropped part of a complete staircase (seriously - we were building a house for a young NE Patriot player named John Stephens) and it was a custom staircase that had been ordered from a mill. Oops.
A while later I went to a podiatrist(?) who yanked the nail and the new one has been funky ever since.
