I’m sitting here at my desk looking out the window that overlooks my backyard and I witnessed the first yellow leaf of the season fall from one of our old, stately sugar maples.
Right now the leaves are still green with just a hint of the color change to come. The colors won’t be in their full glory until Columbus Day. It will be interesting to see how the unusually hot, dry summer affects the colors. I’ve been told to expect a fall foliage season with less vibrant colors than usual but I’ve also heard we’ll have extremely vibrant colors but with a short duration. So there is no consensus. I am looking forward to it though. It’s one of the best things about living in New England and I love almost everything about New England.
Except the Pats fans.
