A promise of autumn?

This summer has been overall and so far relatively cool. We had a few hot days, heatwaves even, but by and large the temperature rarely went over the lower twenties. It has been a bearable summer so far. They are forecasting a hot day this Friday and there is the whole month of August to get through, but at least we are two months into the season and I don't feel the summer blues. And I have now reasons to be hopeful about the coming autumn, that it might, just might, be typically autumnal early on. Yesterday, as we were talking our family walk, I saw the first yellow leaves on trees. Only a few, but it was nice to see all the same, especially since it has not been dry: it's the cooler weather that must have triggered the early change of colours. Let's not get carried away, it's barely anything and yes it is probably confirmation bias, but still, one is allowed to dream a bit. If it's not a sign, then I will take it as a promise.
