Having spent my high school years in Vermont, I know what fall foliage is supposed to look like.
It looks like this a lot, just TONS more.
To my high school friends who are probably snickering with embarrassment for me because I’m gushing over a handful of leaves on one tree when they’ve been looking at tens of thousands of acres of riotous color for months – yeah, I get it. You’re right. Let’s see you come out here for fifty years and see how much you miss it when all you have are palm trees and tumbleweeds.
The Forever House has the one maple tree in the front yard, which had a couple of leaves turning shortly after we moved in. Now it’s starting to turn in earnest.
If you think I looked stupid out there snapping pictures of the occasional bright red leaf, wait until they see me in the spring trying to hang a bucket on a tap to make my own syrup!
The Black River from Springfield down to the Connecticut River this isn’t (the three large palm trees give it away) but it’s better than nothing!
Stand by! I’m sure as the High Desert Fall Foliage Season (HDFFS) proceeds I’ll be sharing more pictures!
