Fall is in Full Bloom!

When we hear " Fall", usually the word bloom is not in the same sentence. Fall is a time of closing not beginning. Fall, is the season of a time where between summer and winter, during this time which the weather becomes cooler and many plants become dormant. The Northern Hemisphere from the autumn equinox, the winter solstice and popularly considered to include the months of September, October, and November. Fall we watch the plants change as the sap withdraws back to the roots, giving an appearance above the ground, the plant is dead.

Now Spring we think of blooming, flowers emerge up from the dirt and pop open with color and new life. So, how can I say, " Fall is in full bloom"? Right now, this moment in the Pacific Northwest, Fall is in its full show. The full bloom of Fall is a super short season! Don't miss it! It seems it comes on so sudden, and it kinda does. One day we are in Summer with warm days and nights don't usually get below 55. Then suddenly our evenings drop into the 40's and even cooler with frost on the ground. But our days have still stayed in mid 60's and even warm sunshine of 75! So suddenly those warm days are fewer. The leaves on trees and bushes seem to turn over night. All of those deciduous trees and bushes have a short time they turn together with brilliant show of yellow, orange and reds, "full bloom of Fall".

This will change quickly in the PNW, we have rains and wind that comes with the season of Fall. Wind and rain will quickly knock those leaves to the ground. Mid October is the peak of our Fall and before November 1, it will be completely gone. The rain is to return again in a couple days and will wash those leaves away. So, like every new day, there is an ever changing scenery. Like every sunset, no two are the same and everyone is spectacular in its own moment.
