Leaves started dropping off some of the trees here about a month ago.  IMHO, not
so much a sign of Autumn, but low rainfall and heat got them started early. 
Most of them are just getting started now.

Yeah, it seems to me like once upon a time it was not even immediately after
Halloween, but closer to before Thanksgiving (in time for Black Friday!).  When
I worked at Target in 1987, I do believe we started putting out some Christmas
stuff in the "seasonal area," after we cleared it of all of the unsold Halloween
costumes and decor, but the stuff like Christmas trees came out a little later.

Two weeks ago today, I noticed that Cracker Barrel here in town had out
Halloween and Christmas stuff.  There was already at least one Christmas tree
out.  :O    I didn't pay attention when I was in Wal-Mart last week.
