.... Live Oak leaves turning brown?
It's about to happen. We are about to be inundated with falling Live Oak leaves. For those who don't know, the Live Oak is semi-deciduous. It keeps its leaves through the winter. In the spring the new leaves emerge almost immediately after the old leaves fall. Because of this the tree appears to be green year round.
It's a messy time. Between the leaves falling, and the pollen coating anything outside,
wrecking havoc for with allergies, it may not be the best season of the year down here!
Spring is springing here, too. I'm trying (and failing) not to be too excited, because the fire danger is extreme already and it's March. But I do love all of the new blossoms and watching the earth wake up each year.
ReplyDeleteSpring is tentatively knocking but I can't be sure it means it.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. Weather can be so fickle. Denver was expecting temps in the 80's today. I recall having 4 feet of snow at this time of year when we were in that area. One never knows!
DeleteFun to see Spring in Florida!
