Phenology
This blog is a kind of phenology, I suppose.
And, now that we have passed the autumnal equinox, what kinds of events can we anticipate?
Here are a few I can think of:
First flight of Sandhills heading south overhead,
Day when the white oaks in the backyard can be declared free of leaves,
First frost.
First ice on ponds,
First measurable snowfall,
Day when all the crabapples on Vi’s tree have been consumed,
First bird at the feeder (once it’s up),
First local iceboat regatta,
First blizzard.
Others?
But, we can’t forget the old saying: “if winter’s here, can spring be far behind?”
