Newbie no more
The Fall Today was The Fall. It didn’t feel like it, not one bit. The thermometer hit 80 and it’s as humid as spring. But somehow, despite no real rain for something like 6 weeks (8?), the colors are dramatic. One little Amur maple in a raised bed has been really putting on a show like never before, which tells me I should have been giving it more water during the summer months since, at least this last summer, it had some decent rainfall. But today the leaves really got serious about falling, looking like a heavy rain, and quickly piling up in yellow drifts on the patio and other maples making red drifts, ankle deep in the yard.
