The End of Painting

This is the Hickory tree in our front yard.  It is green all year long, and then late in the Fall season it suddenly turns bright, brilliant yellow.  And I have learned over all the years I have painted the house, once the Hickory turns yellow, the temperatures will never get higher than fifty degrees, which means that I can no longer paint.  Fortunately, I just finished painting the new addition yesterday, and I am done!  Just as the tree tells me I am done.  What a joy it is to see this brilliant tree against a clear blue sky!
