Enjoying Fall

[Spudman]

It's been pretty nice around here lately and I've been doing lots of hiking, cycling and picture taking. Hopefully this link will work for all.

Our fall leaves don't change until November around here. We still have flowers blossoming. Out little orange tree has about 50 oranges that will be ready just in time for Christmas.

Another pleasant cool front day today. High of about 79, low tonight in the mid-50's. My favorite time of the year!

The garden flowers are really kicking in. The shrub-ish tree on the left is a pomegranate that has dropped most of it's fruit. The fruit is a pale yellow on the inside, but it tastes like the regular red pomegranate.
Oh, and Ziggy dog stretching for the photo bomb!

Just posted a lengthy report on our trip to Greece / Crete. But now it feels fine to scrape the ice off the windshield for the first time this morning.

I guess I'm a northener to the bone; nice as it was to spend a week there, it takes me days to get used to the heat and the sun and I get sunstrokes and just generally the air feels heavy and too warm...every day I could take it for a few hours more, but still by the end of the week I was already longing for some real fresh, cool air and get back home. And it wasn't even that hot there with daily highs of maybe 86F or so...still too hot for prolonged periods. I had to take cold showers and turn on the AC.

I'm sure I'd die in like hours if I were dropped in the middle of Sahara or something, no matter how much water I had with me. Just can't function in too warm climates, it feels like being underwater, can't breathe the hot damp air and so on.

But it WAS very nice a trip anyway, despite the occasional moments where I just had to crawl somewhere dark and concentrate on breathing so I wouldn't keel over
