It looks like we weren’t the only ones feeling like this over the weekend—even this squirrel is trying to get cool! Yuko Roberts, of Solon Township, took this photo of the squirrel on her deck, near Upper Lake. Temperatures over the weekend were in the 90s, with the heat index in the low 100s.

Area trees popped with color last week, proudly showing off deep red, glowing orange, and bright yellow leaves against the blue sky. Several readers sent us their photos, including the one here of Upper Lake in Solon Township from Cherri Rose. While the color show is winding down, there are still some trees that haven’t yet lost their leaves. Get out there and see them while there is still time!
