Signs of Fall - Not Signs of Fall

Today it is 80 degrees outside and humid. I walked through the yard and swept the fall leaves off the sidewalk. The leaves cling to the dog's fur and I get leaves all over the house. The weather has been so unusally warm and wet that Mother Nature is getting confused. My black eyes susans are in bloom again.

And this afternoon, while brushing the dog, I found a wood tick by her eye. What is this craziness that I find a wood tick in October?
