Yesterday I drove BD (
booksareadrug ) back to school after her mid-semester break. Central New York State has a different enough climate from Northern New England so that we saw some trees we couldn't quite identify. Their foliage was, in BD's words, "the color of the Macaroni and Cheese Crayola crayon." It's the best description I can think of for the orange-y yellow that almost glows in the middle of the leather-brown oaks. If you know what these trees are, please share!
I don't think they're quaking aspen, because we have those around here, but I could be *gasp* wrong.
On another seasonal note, we have now joined
jbknowles in the "It's S-n-o-w-i-n-g" category. I even saw several cars with snow on their hoods and roofs when I went to the Post Office this noon. The clouds are low enough so that Mt. Mansfield is invisible, but from the looks of lower hills, it's gonna be white, white, white when the clouds lift.
I'm cuddlin' up to the woodstove.
