Leaves still green
Looking from my porch here in Asheville, the leaves on the surrounding mountains are still green. However, there are a few patches of dark reddish brown leaves on my Maple trees out back. Nothing to get excited about. The color changes usually sneaks up on you here. The leaves start changing in early October, peak around the middle of the month then by Halloween they are through. Halloween is usually chilly enough to wear a sweater or a coat.
