    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.

    Tulip poplar and black locust have been dropping leaves here for a month.

    The upside to being a Rams fan is heartbreak.

    Sprinkles are for winners.

    Our previous house had a pair of ginko trees at the end of the driveway. Interesting thing is the leaves would turn yellow but instead of the leaves dropping a little at a time over a period of several weeks all the leaves would drop all at once in a single day towards the end of fall. I’m not exaggerating when I say you would look at it one day and it would have its full complement of leaves and the next every single leaf would be lying in a pile beneath the tree.

    I know it makes a bright yellow carpet. I hope they weren’t female ginkgo trees, if so the beauty ends where the nose begins.
