Still early days. I did see an ‘official’ forecast predicting that our foliage here, i.e., Central New Hampshire, will not peak for another 2 weeks. Based on what I am seeing that could even be optimistic.

The stretch of road shown in the top picture is usually the first to turn color. Today it was mainly green.

I will, of course, as of today be keeping an even closer eye. Just wanted to share this with you.

It feels late BUT it is easy to forget that last year’s was on September 7. It was also on September 7th in 2015 & 2009.

September 7 is as late as it can be.

It is always the 1st Monday of September. So, it can fall between September 1 & September 7 — & as my table shows, it has.

Yes, if you study it you can see the pattern BETWEEN leap years. Look at 2000 to 2003. It was going down by a day: 4, 3, 2 & 1. Then came a leap year. That set it back to 6. Then it was 5, 4, 3 … & then another leap year. Got it?
