Gone with the wind…
And this is why we call it fall.

Still hanging on…
As the sun sets in the too warm December evening...
It’s a race…
Between the winds and full color.
Once the winds return…
Fall color will be gone before it really arrived.
Fall Color… Finally
At least it's started...

2023 Day 345
Monday, December 11th As the sun sets on a Sunday evening. It's a cold and frosty morning... Most of the color is on the ground! The season is mostly fall-en. It's probably as close as we're going to get to snow on the ground.
2023 Day 344
Sunday, December 10th The cold front that blew through last night has brought a return to fall, but tonight winter will arrive as the temperature plunges to 34°. At least that's the foretelling of the prognosticators... But, the winds of the night did a good job of stripping the color…
2023 Day 342
Friday, December 8th The day is dark and dreary. Warmish and damp. When I woke up this morning it was already 67°. Water was standing in the driveway. Windrows of blown damp leaves rested in piles like sand dunes on a beach. Out back the red oak leaves are falling..…
2023 Day 341
Thursday, December 7th It's another chilly morning on the back porch. The temperature is 44°. I must admit, we've had a remarkable run of sunrises and sunsets. Just beautiful starts and finishes each day.

2023 Day 335
Friday, December 1st After more than 2 inches of rain yesterday, this morning dawned very, very foggy... 100% humidity. And it feels anything but fall like outside. The temperature this morning is 66°. But, the fall color is still working its way into the landscape...
2023 Day 332
Tuesday, November 28th I was out enjoying the sunset on the back porch where it was still but cool when I realized that I never posted this post this morning... So as I enjoy the relatively cool 57° with the sun just touching the top of the trees still... I…
2023 Day 331
Monday, November 27th This morning the pre-dawn light brightened a chili start to the day. The low for the night bottom doubted 39° according to my phone. The morning light tends to add more color to the trees than is actually there.. strangely the predominant color around here as we…
2023 Day 329
Saturday, November 25th On Thanksgiving Day I saw an image of my red oak tree from 4 years ago. In that image, the tree had already gone through its entire fall color change. So I guess this year fall is a little slow in coming... But, as you can see,…

Monday, November 20th As we move towards Thanksgiving bits of color are beginning to show. But even so, the predominant color is green.. except at sunrise.
2023 Day 317
Monday, November 13th It's a rainy cool Monday. While the temperature is only 61°, the dampness makes it feel much cooler.. though the wind blowing from the north probably sucks just a few degrees out of the air. It's pretty much been just like this since Friday. Though after our…
2023 Day 314
Friday, November 10th It's time to switch our focus from the sunrise to the Red oak for the fall. For the past week I have noticed the beginning's of fall color. It started out as just a bit of lighter green scattered through the canopy. But as the week has…
December Day 11
Sunday It's a cool 66° this morning and the light rain is falling. Though, the thunder makes it sound like it should be raining harder... I spent yesterday playing that fun game of new computer updating. I really understand why that game exists. But for some reason to have to…
December Day 9
Friday It's another foggy morning. Even the sounds are muffled. The temperature is 71°. And with the moisture in the air it's a cool 71°.... It's the end of another week. We are getting closer and closer to the Christmas weekend. I really don't find myself with much to say…

December Day 6
Tuesday It's another warm one today. It's already 71°. The prognosticators say this is what we have to look forward to for the rest of the week. We might see it cool down after this coming weekend. But the progression of color in my backyard goes on. Although the color…
December Day 5
Monday The morning is warm and foggy... 67° with a dense fog advisory. The prognosticators are foretelling if a high temperature today is 79°. Not a very fall-like weather pattern we're having this week... With highs of about 80 or above for the next 7 days. My sons came over…
December Day 4
Sunday It's a pleasant 64° out this morning. Overcast, still... Not a breeze blowing. The progression of color is moving from the tree to the ground. I find myself in that in between space. I've ordered a new laptop because the one here at the house has been getting glitchy.…
