Re: roll call.... now the west coast

Yes, Theresa, the colors here have been phenomenal. My black oaks all around my house are turning golden this year instead of the muddy tan of some years. And the liquidambers are really amazing here this year, as are many others. I think the early coolth, which I hated so much, definitely helped with the color. I think all the wild trees and shrubs are more colorful than usual this year too.

Hey Barb-
Down here in the valley we are having the best fall color I can remember since I moved here 10 yrs ago. How's your leaves this year?

Hi everyone, I'm fortunately far away from the fires (as is Theresa). There has been non-stop coverage of the fires in Malibu and San Diego on TV, and I get an LA news station at night and heard a grim assessment of the fires in Santa Clarita last night. It's a gripping story in a horrible sort of way -- they are so at the mercy of Mother Nature on this one. Although our fall has been comparatively cool and wet, we have had some absolutely perfectly gorgeous fall weather including today, everything mild and golden with blue skies. I have done a small amount of planting of shrubs and hope to broadcast lots of seeds this fall and early spring to spiff the place up. Now if I could get the crazed acorn woodpecker (they store their acorns in a granary -- many many acorn-sized holes made usually in big pine trees) (and they live communally taking care of the young) to stop pecking at my gable, I'd be all set.
