Last of Fall - Is winter on it's way?
October 09, 2006 | 0 comments
Fall foliage ...way past peak in this area. Only a handful of trees around here that have leaves holding on...Like they are not quite ready to welcome in winter. It seems to early!
But, last night, the temperature got down below 30 and we woke to a coating of white frost on everything. As the sun began to rise and touch the tops of the trees that still have some leaves left, the frost bitten leaves began to fall, one by one, so gracefully. Nature....it's an amazing and wonderful thing.
So it seems that winter is on the way although we also still heard the call of the loons this morning ...I understand that as long as they are still around, Mr. Winter is not welcome yet!
It is now about 11AM and the sun is out, the skies are blue and a chill in the air. My favorite time of year!
