Fall is in full color

[jyoutz]

It’s very much fall in northern New Mexico. Been raining off and on all week and the aspen leaves in the mountains are at peak color. We rode the chair lift in the ski area to 11,500’ elevation, but it was in the clouds and not very scenic.

Yeah, we don’t have seasons in south Louisiana. It’s nice to see and travel places that do, but just to visit.

One of my sons lives in Baton Rouge. You do have two seasons: hot and humid and mild and delightful.

Today was one of those very few mild and delightful days. I’ll take it.

Last winter was a first. I’m 15-20 miles north of Lafayette. We had 10” on the ground at my house. I’ve been here 52 years and can’t recall another time that has happened. Lasted less than a week, but yeah, that was winter for us.

Foliage peaked here around first day of fall. Not as vivid as some years since it's been dry. Most leaves are down now. Tamaracks haven't changed color yet.

You can blame it on the "global warming" we've had these past few years!

Global warming is a term that hasn’t been used in over a decade. The term is “climate change.”
