Maple Leaves Down
Our Fall weather is not much influenced by the Pacific this year, but rather by continental influences which push waves of cold dry air down the plains to wash over the mountains from the east. Each wave is colder, remindful of the tide coming in with succeeding waves washing higher up on the beach. Just a couple of nights after the picture below taken of Jonathan under the maple tree, temperatures fell to near 20 degrees and in the single day thereafter most of the maple tree leaves lay on the patio as you can see from this picture. We'll grab a leaf blower/vacuum and vacuum them all up in another day or two after the rest of the leaves fall.
