Are The Trees In Your Area

I love the autumn and the winter, so I love to see the trees start dropping their leaves. I've got one tree that starts shedding mid-August, usually, and it's almost bare already. Most of the others are still green, but I've noticed more and more of them slowing down their growth. I'll be glad for the cool weather, but understand you wanting to swim in your pool!

Yes, I have noticed the odd few and I think to myself, "August?" It seems to have been such a short summer. Our leaves are changing due to cooler nights. The thought of fall is always somewhat sad and I don't think any of us like to wade through snowbanks. Given the impossible to predict weather patterns, we may still have some sunny, summer days to look forward to. I keep my fingers crossed.

It is still a little early for the trees here in Guelph Ontario to change colour, but fall is definitely on it's way. When I went to leave my apartment this morning, I tripped over a bundle of Sears christmas Wish catalogues. It's AUGUST, and they're talking about Christmas? What gives? When winter comes, I'm ready to hibernate!!!

Here in SE Georgia the leaves are still pretty green. As I dislike the hot, hot humid summers here I cannot wait for fall. An hour ago it was 89F but the feels like temperature was 97F with all the humidity.

Yes! I just noticed one of our trees' leaves were already all yellow. I could not believe they were already changing! We are on a hill and can see miles and miles of trees and there are already different shades of trees appearing! I love the fall because of all the color changes but it is way too early. It seems my summer has just been a few weeks. Where did it go? God bless you!

The trees are still pretty green in Pennsylvania. Summer has seem to go by fairly fast though. What sucks is that the weather hasn't been that warm, so we haven't been able to take advantage of our pool. Usually it will start getting warm in September, but who knows with this weather.

I have noticed that some of them are, again the UK did not have a good Summer I wonder if we ever will have decent Summers again? I remember the long Summers and then you did not mind the Winter coming but now they seem to be short

In tropical countries we don't enjoy seeing the changes of colors. It is green all year round and you're lucky to experience 4 seasons. It is hot here and wish that I can enjoy winter as well.

not yet..they're still too busy dropping pollen and twirlies on the cars. the weather's been so weird up here the last few years,i think they're confused anyway.it took forever just for them to start leafing out this year.way late. i did hear they're predicting a bad winter already though.

Some of the leaves are changing around here. I like it becasue I love the fall. I will probably be able to swim until early or mid oct. because it is warm around here. I dont like the summer with all its heat humidity and bugs so I am ready for fall to come anytime. The rest of this week is supposed to be fairly cool and I cant wait.

I just had to go outside and look at the trees to check, and no, I am pleased to say that as yet no changes. Mind you we have had tons of rain so it is not surprising, although we have been forecast a good week this week so I am really pleased about that! It has been an awful summer for us weather wise.....again.

Well, there used to be a lot more trees around Port of Spain, Trinidad than there are now. People just chop them down to put up awful concrete things. I can't even call them buildings, some of them. A tree is such a beautiful thing and so many people think they're inconvenient. As for the environment. That must be on the TV or in the home appliances they stack up without end.

Oh wow, that really sucks! I hate fall because it is an omen of winter and the end of summer, it's so sad! I live up North in Pennsylvania, and the trees are still as green as they were in the beginning of summer, but it has been a bit more dry, but probably not as try as it in in North Carolina, since we have had no color changes in our foliage really, though it's really hard to keep the vegetable garden thriving because of the lack of water. Last year it was a lot worse here, it was so dry and arid. Rain tends to only come when you don't want it to come, and then it's not here in the time when we need it the most heh. You should still have plenty of time to swim in the pool, just because the trees are changing due to dryness it doesn't mean it won't be warm, though after labor day it may be a little downhill with the weather. I really really don't want our days to become shorter, how depressing, I really hate the cold and snow, though this year I will welcome it because I am leaving the country this December for a month . Well anyways, happy mylotting and have a great day! Good luck trying to get time to jump into that pool, savor the last bit of summer before it's over, or else the next chance you get to go in you will be another year older

the trees in m area are the same nice and green still lol

It sucks doesn't it, its the end of summer. I live in Northern Ohio so we really get winter, snow, ice and cold. I am not ready to give up summer neither.

I kinda like the "tween" seasons like Spring and Fall so I'm not too sorry to see the end of summer. You're right about the foliage. I noticed that here a couple weeks ago. There were leaves on the ground and red and yellow leaves on the trees here in early August. Very unusual for this area also.

they aren't changing here....yet ! i love fall though because of the beautiful trees. i heard that the farmer's almanac is predicting a very long and very cold winter. winter isn't my favorite by far, but i love the FIRST good snow fall. it's so white and beautiful.

Didn't Fay help your water situation? From the weather reports it looked like the whole Southeastern US was really getting drenched. When we have a real dry year here in the West we loose a lot of pine trees to beetle, but nature seems to take care of that with wild fires. Of course humans don't care to much for either of these things, but if we just stay out of the situation nature will fix it.

you are lucky to even have seasons. in my area i only have rain and sun! sadded but i am lucky i dont have any natural disasters in my area.

Here in central Ontario, Canada, we didn't have much of a summer at all. It rained more days then not. I am fortuante enough to live on a lake and the level has been very high all summer, and the algae growth has been more then usual with the nutrient run off. Our maples started changing in the middle of August. Usually the poplar and birch start first, but I think with all the rain, The maples have felt the change in the soil nutrients and a number of them are shutting down early. The greatest difference we have noticed this year is in the colour of their leaves. The last few years they have been orange and gold, but this year they are the most vibrant reds I have ever seen. Not all have started to change yet, so fall colours will be lasting longer this year, but WOW, are they ever beautiful.
