Already fall?

So now the question is, Has this shirt been laundered in the last 5 days, or is my mom just an amazingly tidy eater? No spills or stains that I could see.

Today I had an extra dog with me when I went to visit, so our walk was extra diversionary. My mom, always on the lookout for color, found this leaf and carried it with her. She said something like, "I hope I can go home and set this down somewhere so I can look at it."
