Here's a dab of fall color for the weekend, courtesy of our Serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea.) Its a small multi-stemmed clump which produces white flowers in early spring, edible sweet fruit appears in summer. Foliage is deep green prior to turning orange in fall. Birds love it. 
Perhaps the color will start coming back into the President's cheeks, once he get's over the beatdown he took in Capitol Hill testimony from Attorney General candidate Michael Mukasey on the legality of tourture bye the CIA. The first day was pretty harsh on the Bush administration, who must have gotten to Mukasey that night and told him to tone down the independent of the President stance, because the next day, he was a much different, and more compliant to the status quo kind of guy.
