I’m beginning to think that we have once again skipped fall and gone right straight to winter. Two weeks of fall like weather, then boom . . . cold weather. Hello winter! I wish we still had a fall season.
It’s been so dry the past few years that we don’t even get to enjoy a colorful fall. That coupled with sudden cold fronts just wiped out the changing of the colors of the leaves. Gone are the days of red, orange and yellow mixed in with the various shades of green.
I’ve never been back east in the fall to see the beautiful colors, but I have been to Colorado in the fall. The Aspens or “Quakies” as they are called by the locals are beautiful this time of year. Gorgeous shades of yellow mixed in with the verdant evergreens!
