Debe Maxwell, CRS is hosting the ActiveRain Challenge the month titled "Thankful Thoughts:  ActiveRain's November Thanksgiving Gratitude Challenge".  This has been an easy challenge for me in the past, because I have MUCH to be gratitude for.  For this challenge we get to write one blog per week for this month. 

 

My first blog is about the beautiful season that is about to come to an end here in Connecticut, and its gorgeous Fall colors.  This first blog is a particularly easy one, because I am  about to wrap up on my "Progression Of Fall Colors In Middletown, CT for 2023.

 

We are so blessed here in New England to enjoy the Fall leaf colors each and every year.  This gorgeous time of the year only last about 1-2 weeks every year, and I am grateful for whatever time we have to enjoy it, even the short time it was this year. 

 

Many people travel for hundreds and thousands of mile each year to New England to enjoy these gorgeous colors.  I am blessed that all I have to do is step on to my deck or look out my window, and the gorgeous colors are their for my enjoyment. 

 

So yes I consider myself to be truly blessed, even though this gorgeous time of the year is followed by very cold weather.  But even our Winters can be gorgeous when these same trees are covered with fresh pure white snow.  When the trees are covered with fresh snow, they almost look like they are covered in cotton balls.

 

If you have a few minutes click on this link to my "Progression Of Fall Colors In Middletown, CT for 2023, and see this progression of colors for yourself.

I finally saw first signs of color coming to leaves here in Sacramento, today. It seems odd, but leaves have began to fall, but they aren't as colorful as usual/

You are lucky to be grateful for that since it would signify cold weather for me and I wouldn't likely be very grateful for that, haha.

it is a beautiful thing George Souto when we can feel gratitude and blessed by the God Given beauty that surrounds us.  Sometimes it is the more "simple" things in life that  bring us the most joy.

Hi, George.

Your foliage photo takes me back to my days in good ol' Duxbury, a tiny town near Boston. Ah, the majestic fall foliage of New England! But here's the hilarious twist: once all those leaves hit the ground, we were treated to a sweet ocean view.

So, we had to be patient and wait until winter to sell our house and proudly declare, "Hey, it comes with a water view!" (Only in winter, though. Sorry, summer buyers!)

You are certainly blessed with so much of nature's beauty right outside your back door. Those colors bring back happy memories of our many years in New England.

Fall is my favorite time of year due to the glorious foliage colors and the mild temperatures. You are blessed to live in one of the most amazing Fall color zones in the U.S.  Ours is pretty darned good, too.  Thanks for sharing, George.

Good morning George. Must say that I anxiously await your annual fall series on the changing colors. Living in downtown Chicago it is normally the best exposure to fall colors I get. Thanks! Enjoy your day.

Your photos are outstanding George.  When we lived up north, fall was always my favorite season.  The turning of the leaves is just so beautiful - nothing quite compares to it.
