You’re shitting me!! though, today I wore lined pants and a fleece sweater. I think I’ve gone one day in shorts…
July 15, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Global warming, of course.

@Steph
The tree’s always been a bit sickly…but STILL…
C’mon…it’s only mid-JULY!!!!
@Mike
Exactly. Just like this whole non-summer we’ve been having in Canada.
July 15, 2009 at 11:34 pm
I have a tree that optimistically produces a full cover of leaves in the spring and then drops half of them by the middle of July. Maybe I need to consult a tree psychic and see if something’s bothering the poor little fella.

It’s your sign that you should move out west already. It’s been *quite* gorgeous here this summer.
I think the country has flip-flopped.
(Hide the leaf and pretend it never happened)
July 16, 2009 at 7:20 am
The tree is stressed. But it’s wrong for it to do that to you.

@fee
If there are professional tree psychics out there, actually, that wouldn’t suprise me one bit.
Maybe on Twitter, you can find a Tree Life Coach.
@Karen
Grrr. Sure. Rub it in.
We had snow in May. We had frost in June. And now autumn leaves in July. And it August, it will start noticeably cooling off.
There isn’t ONE complete Month here, where the effects of winter arent’ felt.
You’re right. I gotta move out to Lotus Land (or at least, Alberta).
@Betsy
The tree is stressed..and it’s making ME stressed.
But in another 4-5 weeks, it will start to have some company. By the end of August, other leaves will start turning color too.

A total fluke, of course…probably left over from last year…got stuck in the tree somewhere and just now fell down…not a harbinger of things to come..noooooo….summer is just beginning…oh yes it is
July 16, 2009 at 10:19 am
@XUP
That’s what I keep telling myself. 3.5 weeks ago, it was still SPRING. Summer is only just starting.
Autumn?
LALALALALALALA! (*covering my ears and running screaming*) I CAN’T HEAR YOU. LALALALALALA!
July 16, 2009 at 1:31 pm
I think Calgary had snow in June this year. So watch that Alberta thing.
The grass may not be greener (or would that be the snow whiter??)
July 16, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Maybe it’s drought??
One may hope…
Right now, where I live, it’s 98F and humid…I’m melting…and not because some prissy little Goody Two-Shoes from Kansas tossed a bucket of water on me…
Shade and Sweetwater,

I don’t mind the snow in Alberta. Because you’re so close to the Rocky Mountains, with some of the best skiing in the world.
Snow in Ontario, though. I have no use for.
(We had snow flurries on May 31…hopefully that will be it until October).
@Kyddryn
Careful….
If you MELT, though, can I keep your pointy black hat?
July 16, 2009 at 5:22 pm
It’s a pointy BLUE hat, thankyouverymuch, and it’s willed to one of my witchy sithren (like brethren, only girls), but you can have the emergency backup hat- it’s not pointy but it DOES have a flashing neon hat band…you know, so the bats know where to land…
Shade and Sweetwater,
K (who thinks the tree is just messing with your head)

@Kyddryn
Can you put some kind of Wiccan spell on the tree or something, to get it to smarten up?
I could use Viking Tactics, but that would involve burning and pillaging, and it’s such a NICE tree.
July 16, 2009 at 8:32 pm
My husband and I were sitting in our patio swing last night when he looked at the ground and said, “What the crap is this?” It was little brown crunchy leaves that had been shed by our tree. Very sad.
And Kyddryn can I steal “sithren” please? I love that word!
July 16, 2009 at 8:54 pm
@Randi
I agree…I really like that word.
Would make a great title for a horror movie:
“The Sithren”
July 17, 2009 at 1:04 am
Hmm…I could try and turn it into a frog…?
Hocus pocus
Leapus croakus
Dragonflies
They really choke us!
Anything? Dang…need to work on that…
Meanwhile, you’re welcome to “sithren”…but if you make a million off it, remember me…please?
Shade and Sweetwater,
K

@Kyddryn
The tree’s still acting up. A few more red leaves have appeared. But at a somewhat diminished rate.
I think your spell is working.
July 17, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Our Gravenstein apples are falling already – it is too early, I will be in Scotland and miss making all that applesauce and dried apples? Yikes
July 17, 2009 at 5:18 pm
@Patricia
I’d much sooner go on an adventure overseas, than cook over a hot stove!
Go to Scotland!
July 20, 2009 at 3:19 am
What the…? Hey, this looks like “shades of crimson” to me
July 20, 2009 at 2:47 pm
If I was a tree in your yard, I’d wither and die too.
Maybe you should stop pissing on it?
Eyeteaguy
I think the leaves turn because of the angle of the earth?
July 20, 2009 at 5:38 pm
@Eyeteaguy
If you were a tree in my yard, not only would I piss on you, but I’d invite Brett, all his kids, and his dog, and the whole neighborhood to do the same.
Then watch the leaves turn. Urea Yellow.
July 20, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Oh, so you are into pissing on people. That explains a lot.
July 20, 2009 at 10:26 pm
@Eyeteaguy
I don’t piss on people. But I piss them off.
Happens so often, it hardly registers anymore.
Take a number. Get in line. Whatever. I’m used to it.
