Leaves Changing

[Nyboy]

In the fall poison ivy is always the first to change colors. This weekend I noticed it is already red. Very early !!!

Saw some cottonwood trees south of Montrose Colorado last week that had some leaves with a hint of yellow... It's coming!

I whole-heartedly agree. It is far too early to be discussing leaves changing. I will cover my eyes at such nonsence. I am in denial.

Fortunately, after 2-3 weeks of temperatures in the lower 50s at night and as low as 69 for one high, we are about to return to the more typical August temperatures of 80s and 90s.

That means it's summer! Summertime, summertime, sum-sum-summertime, summer time yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh!

Now I have that tune in my head

I have noticed a variety of different trees in different locations starting to change colors. My hens have slowed down production. It seems like they all decided to molt at the same time, even though they were hatched at 4 different times, to get ready to winter. I think it's gonna be an early frost and early winter, IMHO.

Maybe east of say Colorado, but I have this feeling winter will AGAIN be very late to get to the west coast, and I fear that AGAIN we may not get rain after January.

I sure wish they'd put me in charge of the gates at the dam. Lake is already very low, around 40% capacity.
