Just a few brown leaves left

We have mostly two seasons in central Texas: a long, hot summer and then some winter. There are a few nice days in the autumn and spring thrown in, but usually we are at work inside an office building when that happens so we miss most of those two seasons.

The leaves don’t change colors gradually, they mostly turn brown all of a sudden and with one big twist and shake, they drop, much like the Whomping Willow in the Harry Potter stories.

We do have some true winter signs, like winter berries. (I don’t know the name of this bush.)

Winter berries, for the birds

A drastic change coming on

One of the hard-to-get-used-to things here is the change in temperatures. One day the low is in the 70s and the next day the low is in the 20s.
