This weekend in Greensboro, the weather was crisp and glorious. The sun was shining and the air had that brisk bite, letting us know that it won’t be long before we get our first frost. Yes, it is time to bring houseplants back in when temperatures are dropping to the 40s at night. The above photo features a few leaves from vines and deciduous trees common to Greensboro. They were seen on a basketball goal that had fallen. The leaves at the top are from a sweet gum tree and the ones to the right are from the Virginia creeper vine.

If you are playing the autumn leaf identification game with a friend or loved one, here is a fun poster we found on etsy (not for sale by us or anyone we know). Here is a fun visual from NC State University. Be sure to click through on the top from home to identify to list. It focus on the products of the trees. Regardless, please take advantage of some fall foliage admiring and leaf hunting here in Greensboro. On the bright side, once the deciduous trees lose their leaves, we’ll have the evergreens! Happy Monday, it is supposed to be a little warmer today!
