The Arrival of Autumn.

11-17-07 SHORT HILLS: After the few cold nights, we got down to 30° here and 20° in Vermont, the change in leaf color is dramatic. The dawn redwood, red oak, beech, Norway maple, burning bush, baldy cypress have all gone from mostly summer color to autumn color in the few days since the first frost. The trees must respond to temperature change as well as photoperiod. We do mushrooms popping up all over the yard. I guess they count as new blooms. We saw more deer on today’s walk. Vermont tomorrow.
