Re:
"The early November storms had melted, leaving an endless landscape of gray trees and mire green earth. "

I don't know what it means when it says the storms have melted, but around here the leaves have fallen off the trees by November. And the grass is always green. It just doesn't grow much during the winter. (The only time the grass turns brown is under conditions of drought.)

I know what a gray November sky looks like, but I am not so sure about "gray trees" and I am less sure about "mire green earth".

From Dictionary.com, I got this for mire.

mire (mr)
n.
An area of wet, soggy, muddy ground; a bog.
Deep slimy soil or mud.
A disadvantageous or difficult condition or situation: the mire of poverty.

v. tr.

To cause to sink or become stuck in or as if in mire.
To hinder, entrap, or entangle as if in mire.

There is no listing for mire as an adjective.

It is a rather poetic sentence, but the literal meaning of it is elusive.
