Fall Comes Early to Homer Glen

As I was leaving my Homer Glen home the other day, I couldn't believe the sudden shift in weather.  We went from sweaty 90 degree weather one day to 50 degrees the next.  My granddaughter had to switch out the shorts she laid out for school the day before to jeans, and she had to grab a jacket.

One of the days was actually close to perfect weather since it was sunny and got up into the 70's.  It was so gorgeous I shot a few pictures from my car on a scenic drive down 104th Ave., which is surrounded by forest preserves, lakes and ponds.  What a perfect day for fishing - not too hot yet not too cold.

My husband went to see Nascar races yesterday with a friend and they got rained out, so they had to push things aside and go back today.  It was still a little rainy this morning but the sun is trying to peek out from behind the clouds.

I thought maybe it was a cold spurt and it would revert back, and I'm hoping that will still happen before Autumn weather is here for good.  I love the Fall, but it can get pretty cold in these southwest Chicago suburbs.  And it is the reminder of the cold winter and spring seasons to come.
