Last year’s first fall color — but 18 days LATER.
Just into August — August 4. Caught me off-guard. I was not expecting this.
But, I should NOT have been surprised. If anything, IF I had given it any thought, I should have been looking for it. We had three nights, in a row, that were atypically cool — maybe even cold. I know, I had to wear my winter night gear & use two blankets (rather than the one). Yes, in my old age, I really feel the cold.
I know we can start getting foliage color, in central New Hampshire, in August. So this is not huge news per se. All I am willing to say is that it seems a tad early.
