Autumn in my town. This is looking west toward the Trinity Alps.
Shasta has snow - strange skies and a river runs through it.

The last blooms
My California poppies are starting to bloom - They will bloom for a short while before they stop blooming and put all their energy into their root system so they can spread out.
This is their foliage.
They are always the first to bloom come late winter/early spring.
Here's a Mexican fan palm that was free; a gift from the birds. I planted it in this pot and have no idea where to plant it. We've got these little palms sprouting up all over. I'm kinda sensitive to this - I figure here from a little seed, spread by the birds - struggled to live and now it's a little plant. I can't kill it. It deserves a chance. Maybe I'll sell them for cheap in the spring.
You can't tell how big this is, but it is BIG. Another type of palm that has outgrown its already BIG post I bought at Costco. You can see how the roots are lifting it practically out of the pot. It's big and heavy. Might have to sell it.
I guess palms grow good around here.
Probably the last flower from the dusty miller.
As well as the rosemary.
The Margarite daisy is blooming for a while...and then it will abruptly stop and start back in late winter/early spring.
And just a few more little flowers left on these pansies. They'll be back.
Autumn in the front yard
We got some rain this morning - and then the rest of the afternoon has been partly sunny. It's not that cold - pleasant actually. Around 65 for a high.
