Like stripping down to swim, heavy clothes would become burdensome and not keep a body any warmer.

The sun also does not do such a disappearing act. Plus the grape vines turn autumn color too.Tom Cochrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046822056852446079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-2171711039113060832015-12-12T10:07:36.715-07:002015-12-12T10:07:36.715-07:00The oaks in California are somehow programmed to s...The oaks in California are somehow programmed to stay green and shed the brown leaves and acorns simultaneously. Yesterday I blew leaves off the walks and patios. A band of rain and hail (first I've seen in almost 10 years) came through when the weather settled down I had to do it again. We have windrows of acorns. The old(er) guy across the road says that's a sign of a hard winter. Hard in SoCal means 60's in the daytime, low 40's/high 30's at night.Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854309313920685901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-45992498389899251642015-12-12T09:42:37.833-07:002015-12-12T09:42:37.833-07:00We don't need the shade this time of year.
