Sean,
You just beat me ( and did it exceptionally well) to the subject of fall
colours. We also have very little autumn colours on the trees, but Oh the
feeling of spring that the first rain and slight cooling brings. We rouse
ourselves from our summer torpor, get digging, splitting, sowing and
planting in preparation for a season of growth and productivity. I love to
see the autumn colours, but am willing to swap them for the excitment of
autumn here in Crete.
