Moving Through Fall, Rapidly

This year’s colors aren’t as vibrant. There are few reds and even the yellows and oranges are shaded toward brown.

Yesterday’s weather was wet and awful. Today’s was nicer but chilly. With Standard Time back the Sun set very early.

No doubt we’re deep into fall and all the early signs of winter are in place.

Last weekend I went up on Sleeping Giant and reveled in the foliage. This weekend, in my own yard, the look isn’t quite as uplifting. Dead leaves are everywhere.

This year’s colors aren’t as vibrant. There are few reds and the yellows and oranges are shaded toward brown. In another week or two even those leaves will be gone. If you look up some of the trees are already nearly bare.

With any hint of a breeze it begins raining leaves!

In Connecticut spring comes gradually. Fall, on the other hand, is in a hurry to get here and be gone.

We’ve started to show “glad that’s not me” snow video on the news. How long until they’ll be laughing at us from somewhere else?

  1. Well…hopefully your “glad that’s not me” snow video on the news…will not turn to the typical Tri-State “When the “””” is it going to snow here video’ (lol). In my time in southern CT seems much to often the winter season is quite tardy compared to the rush of fall.
