No frost here yet either.

When I look out of the 4 windows, 4 in a row, and tall, that are in front of me as I sit here with my a computer, all I see are yellow leaves on different kinds of trees,and on some trees now just brown leaves.

It reminds me of when I was in Colorado and all you'd see were the normal yellow quaking aspen leaves that shimmered when the wind blew ,and various green pine and fir trees.

About 2 miles up the road from where I am,there's one of those granite obelisks that marks the boundry between NY and VT. Folks sign up from many states for bus tours in merrry New England. Will they ever be so surprised when they get here, they are called the leaf peeper folks and they bring lots of $$$ to each state b/c of that.

I was so happy when I moved back home to upstate NY to see the gorgeous Fall foliage with many colors.But yes, there are years such as this one when the colors just aren't there and that can happen for several reasons..
