Cooler days and chilly nights

Summer is officially over

Leaves are starting to turn orange

Nature has decided to turn a page

Start a new season before winter

Trees stop growing to conserve energy

Which begs the question

How do they know?

What triggers them to prepare for winter?

Who taught them? 

Do mother trees school their offspring?

Are tree roots connected to a web?

Communicating with each other constantly

Receiving tree weather messages

Here is today’s tree weather report

Getting tree bulletins about the impending seasonal changes

Its time to start turning your leaves orange

Organizing tree beauty pageants

Who has the biggest and brightest leaves?

Perhaps swapping tree selfies and chatting

Browsing tree social media

Scrolling the pages of TreeBook

Gossiping about passing humans

Look at this silly fellow playing golf in the rain

Reporting horror stories of chain saw tree massacres 

Humans came in waves felling down an entire forest

Announcing the birth of a new baby tree

Mr and Mrs Fir Tree are pleased to announce

Recording obituaries of fallen trees

He lived a long life and will be missed

Lectures on how roots can seek out water

Go deep and follow the scent
