Fall Preview

In Elizabeth City, North Carolina, I’m still waiting for a lot of the leaves to change. There is no hope for the pines, of course. The Bald Cypresses have started to brown and a few of the other species have decided it is fall just in past week. The baby American Chestnuts are still green, but a few of the baby Pawpaws have started to yellow. Overall, the predominant color is still green. Two weeks ago, I was in Wisconsin for business. Wisconsin trees have solidly acknowledged it is autumn and the result is beautiful! One afternoon after my day’s meetings, I went for a quick walk around my hotel. I got to enjoy the crisp air, the sound of leaves crunching under my feet and get a quick preview of what’s to come back home. : )

Here in the Blue Ridge, about 300 miles to your left, autumn arrived all at once a couple of weeks back, then bad weather took most of the leaves off the trees all at once. most are completely bare now and we have a chance of rain mixed with SNOW in the forecast from Friday!

Fall is being weird this year. Went to get apples, but my favorite varieties weren’t ready yet. Went on a hike to see fall colors, but the trees hadn’t changed yet. Weirdness.
And, it’s supposed to be in the 80’s this week… hmmm…
