Reply #72: I can testify to that!

[rucognizant]

I am a landscape painter........ As such, I have had an intimate up close relationship with nature for the last 68 years! ) As a kid I was a loner with the freedom to wander the woods and observe freely)
I came from my home state of SOUTH Jersey, ( market basket to the world during WWII) to coastal Maine 16 years ago. WHen I left; NJ had 4 FOUR months of summer NOT 3! The leaves were opening out in mid April instead of the 1st of May, and turning color in the fall 2 weeks later than they always had!
THIS year.the ground didn't freeze until the end of Jan, 3 months beyond normal here, my peach tree tried to bloom, consequently.no blossoms/ fruit this summer. Now Oct 12, 4 weeks and 3 days after the traditional first frost of the season, the garden is still growing, no frost has stunted its efforts! As a gardener/farmer it is WONDERFUL! But as a human being it is VERY scarey!
