Yipee!.....First Signs of Fall Foliage

At first glance, looking out my upstairs window, I thought it was a red bird. Usually, I see an all over effect of the leaves changing in color. As it gets cooler, the tree will become a spectacular display of red.

The Chinese Tallow Tree is listed in Texas, as an invasive plant. It is also illegal to sell in nurseries in my State. Everywhere the seeds fall, little trees will sprout up, reaching 10' in just a few years.

I'm just hoping this is a sign that cooler weather is on it's way......
