    I went paddling with a buddy of mine at Woodcreek Pond and the foliage in that area of Northern Connecticut is done and bare for the most part except for the Oaks.

    Outside of Vermont the foliage is much worse than last year at least in Connecticut. Enfield has some nice foliage color, but it's mostly in busy urban areas where I can't take pictures. It's just been too warm and rainy this year.

    36F here last night, had to turn on the heat for the first time this Fall. Oil heat downstairs and baseboard heating upstairs. Going to keep the downstairs at 65F this Winter and see how it goes. Nobody there anyway.

    Really nice foliage color along 1-91 from the Connecticut River into Springfield. In town it varies from green to 50%. Most of it will survive the upcoming stormy weather.

    I think I can make this.

    I drove into Northeastern Connecticut today, mixed foliage conditions, some peak, some bare, but mostly bland. Woodcreek Pond, Canaan Connecticut

    Worse than hard, Dad died with a reverse mortgage, tons of debt, no life insurance the mortgage company wants to foreclose. I'm divorced and living alone. My one solace is my son lives in town. I see him a few times a month. I did get accepted into the disabled housing program waiting list in my town. Hoping to stay here as long as possible. Hopefully into next year. Probably looking at getting an apartment next Spring.

    I contacted a therapist. Family is scattered around the country.

    Just feeling awful today, was doing okay the last few months , but feeling really depressed about my situation. Being alone in the house sucks. Really miss my father.

    Nice COLA increase for the Social Security peeps, 5.9% and about $90 extra for me a month starting in January. I'll be living on my own next year and I can certainly use the extra money.

    Granby, Connecticut 10/13/21 and 10/4/20

    Granby, Connecticut. Peak foliage out this way and around Barkhamstead Reservoir.

    Colebrook Dam, Connecticut never been here, didn't know you can drive on the dam. Peak foliage with the non Oak.

    I drove into Southwest Massachusetts and Northwestern Connecticut. Lots of driving for mediocre foliage. Route 57, Route 23 and Route 8 are past peak and about 25% bare. Route 20 West, Lots of bare trees, similar situation in the rest of the region. Beckett Lake, color but past peak

    + no cows, I'll come back there on Friday.

    I'm thinking about trying adaptive skiing this Winter. Really miss being able to ski. My problem is getting off the chairlift. Suddenly I have no leg support and fall down. Skiing the trail itself isn't a problem.

    It's one of the few safe places to take scenic vista shots. I can't walk/stand/balance my camera at the same time, so my pictures are from my car.
  18. Sugarloaf1989
    Out tomorrow to Barkhamstead, Tolland MA and Otis. This area was not good last year, so we'll see.
  19. Sugarloaf1989
    I'm disabled and can't stop wherever I want to. There's plenty of color elsewhere. Most of its in busy locations, or on private property.
  20. Sugarloaf1989
    Yes, I've done it once before in Summer.
  21. Sugarloaf1989
    Heading to Mount Equinox on Thursday with my son, never been that way for Fall foliage before.
  22. Sugarloaf1989
    Im Talking about Stafford and Eastford which is peak and about 1-5% bare. Better foliage than last year which was awful. Coventry is about 50-60% changed. Areas around here that had good foliage color last year are rust colored and going Bare.
  23. Sugarloaf1989
    I drove through Northeastern Connecticut today and the foliage is mostly at peak or slightly past peak. Alot of Oak and Pine compeating with the foliage color. It's a tough area to take foliage pictures in. Heavily forested, lots of private land and few scenic vista's. Upper Bolton Pond, Bolton Connecticut:

    Color developing here in Northern Connecticut with the non Oak. Probably peak this upcoming week and early next. Sodom Pond, Somers Connecticut

    Actually, in this house it's the opposite. Oil heat downstairs and electric baseboard upstairs. I live upstairs and I can heat each room individually. Going to keep the downstairs at 65F or so.
