What is going on out there? This is the beginning of October and trees are dropping their leaves like its November. Leaves don’t usually fall like this until the third week of October. Many of the leaves haven’t even begun to change colors. The leaves are doing strange things. Many trees have excessive fruit also. The oak trees next door had large amounts of green acorns 6 weeks ago. It looked like bunches of green olives just hanging there. The squirrels went nuts. (no pun intended.) They jumped from cluster to cluster, stuffing their cheeks and gorging on the green fruit. The acorns turned brown overnight and then began falling. It sounded like rain for a day or two.
Other trees have had huge amounts of fruit and seeds. Usually when the plants act strange and there are heavily laden fruit trees, , I have found it is a harbinger of blizzards and memorable snow storms.
What have our contributors read? What have been your experiences? Should we expect an unusually cold winter or many snow storms? Your predictions please.
