    I picked this up about 10 minutes ago. I'm betting most know what kind of tree this came from.

    Right where I want to be.
    Starting to see some very minor signs. Winter's coming.
    Never saw a Sassafras leaf before.

    He has an oak so occasionally he climbs up and acts like a nut.

    Goldenrod has been blooming here for at least 2 weeks and I've always been told from first bloom it is 6 weeks to the first frost. Usually it isn't very far off.

    Noticed a stand of young white birch leaves turning color yesterday. This mornings walk I noticed some yellow birch leaves that are joining the club.

    Mine is still green but didn't produce many leaves this year. Anyway, 20 degrees cooler wouldn't hurt my feelings.

    I went for a walk this morning. The scent of wild concord grapes was in the air.

    A scent can be a sign, in this case.
