This has
been the most beautiful fall I can remember here in western Maine. The colors have been vivid with startling
shades from brilliant red to brightest gold.
But now the
color has peaked and passed; our world has shifted to gold and yellows with
bare branches beginning to show as the wind takes the leaves.

I can truly
say that fall has passed and the first indications of winter are settling
in. Today the high temperature was 41
degrees and snow has been predicted for the higher elevations.
This is the
Maine I love: a place of four seasons; and the fall and winter are my
favorite.

Our leaves are past their peak too but I hope snow holds off for awhile. Our temperature's been great and I hope that persists!
ReplyDeleteone of my bestest friends lives in Portland Maine and he thinks it's heaven.
ReplyDeleteon the other hand..it's going to be in mid 80's here..but the nights and mornings are 60's..so it's all good.
Only a few leaves left here, too. Snow buntings have been have been in the area for a week or so and the white stuff will come. El Nino should keep us pretty mild, though.
ReplyDeleteThere is a magic in turned leaves that I find hard to resist.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful country you live in.
