Shove some this way, please. Maybe it will be fall here in November. December, at the latest. Can't wait for the colors to change on the cow patties around here.

Cholla Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I like a light rain during the fall colors. The wet makes the colors pop and the overcast sky gives good color saturation with almost no shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Apen leaves are small...and after the winter with the pine needles, they are easier to rake. Of course...just around the house...I haven't EVEN started on the rest of the property!!! Raining this morning. May have to make frequent stops on the way home. The Chama Valley from New Mexico into Colorado was breathtaking!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derringer Dan Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Love it. We got a fine dusting of snow last week and it is falling gently again today. Love our 4 seasons after having only 2 for so many years… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 In So Ca, there are three distinct leave colors. Green (lasts a short time), brown and dead, and then black (fire season is our longest season). I really enjoy when I get sent for business during the fall and get to see a "real" autumn where there are colorful stages between green and dead leaves.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 First time I saw Colorado was in 1963. My aunt lived in Colorado Springs, and we went to visit her. I have been to a few barn burnings, and hay bailing's, but I had never seen anything like that. Cool in the day (next to what we were used to), and very chilly at night (down here, in the summer, it is often 98 degrees at midnight). It is truly a beautiful State, and many locations are simply mind boggling. My two best friends used to live there, but could not afford it, economically, or politically, they told me. One moved to Wyoming, and the other one moved back to Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 It will depend on what part of Texas one lives in. There is a lot of climate variations in a place this size. You have the flat plains, the mountains, the piney woods, the hill country, the gulf coast, the bayous, the big thicket. Some places are at, or near, sea level, others much higher. It may snow every year in the panhandle, but other places won't see snow for years. East Texas is very humid, in the piney woods, but west Texas is dry, and the humidity is low. Some places get a fair amount of rain, others, not much. One summer we had rain on June 30th, and it did not rain again until the last week in September. We have a tornado alley, we have hail. Some areas have four seasons, but the fall may be a week long, the spring may be 4 weeks long, and the winter may be January. As a preschooler, I built a snowman in 1954. I did not build another one until last winter, when there was enough snow, that lasted more than a day, to actually build one. Last winter's snowman lasted three or four days, because it was in the shade of the house. If one doesn't like the weather around here, they can either move to another part of the State, or wait five minutes. I know one of the more bizarre things I ever saw was, I was standing in a doorway, of our office building, in downtown Ft. Worth. The tornado sirens sounded, but I just kept standing there, leaning against the doorway. A few minutes later, a pickup truck came down the street, in front of our building. However, the pickup was floating about ten feet off the ground, and was more or less sideways. I turned to our secretary and said, now there's something you don't see every day. Tornadoes, and skyscrapers...well, I say skyscrapers...our office building was only 16 stories high, do make some interesting things happen, it seems. It is really just how, and where, one is raised, and what one is used to. But in 72 years of living here, I have only seen three tornadoes, and one of them did not drop down. I am glad it did not. It was directly over my house, and I was standing out in the front yard watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
