Something Freaky Is Happening!
A surreal morning
This morning I felt like I was in some Twilight Zone episode.
Some back story: In my recent story, Countdown Update, I talked about the first snow of the season and how the forecast for my town called for our first snow. Well, yesterday we got that snow. It snowed on and off all day with an accumulation of about an inch. The weather prognosticators were correct.
So this morning it got down into the Fahrenheit Teens.
I dug out my winter coat, shook it to get rid of any spiders, then bundled up to walk to the grocery store. I was out of lemons and I simply cannot live without lemons. (I needed a bunch of other stuff, too.)
It was during this walk for lemons that I found myself teleported to the aforementioned Twilight Zone episode. I had barely walked half a block when I stopped and looked all around me. Something freaky was happening!
There was absolutely NO WIND!
Looking all around me I realized that every single tree was dropping its leaves. And I don’t mean a few leaves being blown off the trees by a breeze. There was absolutely no wind! Yet the leaves were just falling off the trees — all the trees, not just certain kinds.
