Mother Nature has her own clock! Her clock does not need batteries. Her clock does not stop due to pandemic infections, nor political insurrections. Her clock does not care about stragegic retreats, nuclear deals, infrastructure bills, or budget reconcilliations. Basically, we humans are but visitors along for the ride through the time ticked off by Mother Natures clock.
And we have front row seats to Mother Natures biggest party of the year, the annual changing of the colors in the Green Mountains, during what we call 'Fall Foliage Season'.
Color is starting to appear in general around Killington. For the last several weeks, the early signal trees were announcing falls imminent arrival by their subtle color change. But now with the arrival of the Autumnal Equinox tomorrow, all of the trees in the Green Mountain National Forest are beginning to take part.
Color is developing on the slopes of Killington. Around the inn, most of the trees are still bright green, but many are developing hints of color in their upper canopies. For the next 3 to 4 weeks, there will be some pronounced changes occurring each day. It is always fun to get out and enjoy the spectacle Mother Nature puts on for us each year.
