Celebrating the Last Day of Fall 2010

Early goldenrod appears on our swimming rocks just as the calendar changes to September.
Beech leaves starting to yellow in late September.
The last orange leaves left on a staghorn sumac in early October.
Oak leaves are among the last to change from green to color in late October.
The tall grass on the path by the river is going to seed in late October.
The first frost lays on a Christmas fern in late November.
The leaves are gone until spring by Thanksgiving.
Though it did melt, December brought us snow early.
