On of the most depressing things about the changing seasons is the light -- or lack thereof -- in the mornings.
In the spring, the sun comes up waaaaaay too early. Do I really need birds chirping outside my window and the sky getting lighter before 5 am?
But now, it's just the opposite. Do I really want it to be pitch black out at 6:30 am (and even later come December)?
This is usually the pretty time of year. When the leaves turn yellow, gold, red, and orange. Only too many of our maples have blight this year (too much rain and then not enough) and so the leaves are turning brown on the trees and just falling off. (Even our pin oak is dropping leaves like crazy and usually it doesn't do that until November.)
Is fall happening differnt in your area, too?

In northeast PA the rain took down leaves that had begun to turn colors and now that the sun is out (hooray!) it looks like November. Not a good foliage year at all.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are falling and changing colors but they are not as bright as in the past.
ReplyDeleteSo far in NE Bergen county, NJ, most of the leaves haven't started to turn. Still green. Except for one maple (next street over that I can see from my office window) that is a beautiful RED. Completely red. Really stands out in a sea of green!
