More on my tree...

I showed a picture of my favorite tree last week. It is on Route 83, by the new Grayslake High School. I fear that the district now owns the property because the house is now abandoned and there are no other houses in that corner. I really hope they don't cut the tree down. I look forward to it every fall.
Here it is, changed yet again to a beautiful golden color. Chuck thought I was crazy on Sunday morning, because I insisted that we stop and take a picture of it on our way to church. It was super windy on Sunday and I was afraid that the leaves would be gone before I had an opportunity to snap it again. So, he had to pull over on the wrong side of the road and I had to run across the highway in my heels because otherwise the power lines were in the way. Sure, enough, on my way home from work this morning, the top leaves were almost gone.
Today is very chilly...foretelling of winter soon to come.
