Whereas
autumn seemed to linger for several months last year, I believe that the cycle
will be over all too quickly this year.
I
had heard the mountain trees had started turning in August. But as for my view of Salt Lake City valley,
the trees (or the majority of them anyway) did not start turning until last
week.
There are still many green trees that haven’t handled the
chill in the same way as those that are already starting to lose leaves. What?
The ones that started turning last Monday are now shedding their leaves
for the winter?
Toward the end of the week, I did notice more that were turning. This morning I saw radiant beauty of yellow and orange golds, one tree that was undressing and still a wide variety of green. I’d like to see them radiate color before the winter brings snow – if it brings snow.
I heard that it had started snowing in the mountains
earlier than it has in the past. I don’t
know. I don’t seem to go to the
mountains as much as I used to. And yet
I’m so close to them.
Weather is peculiar!
