Every Blooming THing: The Color Arriveth

It took much longer than usual, but we are finally reaching top fall color here in northern Illinois.  It really hit yesterday and today.  I have two trees that changed seemingly overnight.  The amur maple by the deck continues to be brilliant.  And my Miss Kim lilacs are looking great as well.

And, out subdivision is a regular jumble of colors.  Even though people planted as they pleased once buying their homes, they arrived at a very complementary choice of fall tree colors.  Every wooded stretch of road here in northeast McHenry County provides a magnificent backdrop.

I can just imagine what the older residential areas of DeKalb, Illinois, will look like this weekend as we go to NIU's Homecoming.
