The morning after the first solid freeze is when trees dump all their leaves at once.
Yesterday all these leaves were still attached to branches. The tree didn’t even bother to change them to pretty colors first. Green or not, they got dumped. It’s as if the tree just decided to give up on leaves.
I can feel sympathy for that today. Sometimes the effort just seems like too much and I just want to let it all go while I hibernate for awhile.

I always think when I see the trees in that moment that they collectively went”…ahhh winter’s coming…” and promptly had a nervous breakdown.
