Fall is on its way

I checked our Sawtooth this weekend... not a nut on them. First time in a very long time that they failed. :(

Mine are loaded this year. I lucked out and have late dropping ones.

Chestnuts are a different story this year. Some have smaller than usual nuts and some burrs look like they may be empty. I picked up some of the early droppers this last weekend.
 
It’s raining red and white acorns here. Looks like a significantly above average year for them. Great year for apples too. Interestingly, berries are way below average this year.
 
Mine are LOADED. Early, mud, and late droppers are all full. But one question for the OP, WHERE is fall on the way? 100 here today.

I didn’t say WHEN fall would get here...just that it’s on its way. :)
 
Fall's pre-getting here was marked by shotguns a blasting yesterday AM as the local neighborhood began to fill their freezers with local geese on the pond. The daily limit during this early " nuisance"season is 15 per person. NY for waterfowl shooting has no minimum footage from cottages/houses laws if shotgun shooting over the water here so some of the shooting is quite close and if one isn't awake predawn it wakes one up quickly. Meanwhile scattered early bird salmon fisherman can be seen in the streams and as noted early acorns have begun to drop. And the morning temperatures feel quite brisk although soon enough forty-eight to fifty degrees will feel quite warm. We are not in a rush for fall and are still holding on to the last days of summer as once the deer season kicks in, it lasts plenty long enough.
 
It was fall up there three weeks ago when I was up there far as I was concerned. Highs in the low 80's and lows in the 50's? Yep, bout right for me.
