willowispI had been hoping to resume my autumn trip(s) to Upstate NY this year, after having missed it due to Covid 19. Unfortunately I had to shatter my ankle, which would have made travel hard, and I don't yet qualify for the vaccine booster. Given all of that, we decided to call off the trip, much to my sadness.
Today Mom called and told me that this was a good year to miss the trip. Trees have been going from green directly to brown and losing their leaves, and it looks bleak. She'll try to get me pictures if she can see any color whatsoever. The reasons apparently boil down to climate change and a very wet year (if only they could give us in NM some of their water).
I still wish I could have gone, but now the regret isn't quite so acute. And I feel ghoulish for even thinking of their loss as a net positive.
