Fall Glory

It can all disappear in a few stormy moments. I know, but at this warm, sunny moment we in Denver are being blessed with an unusually glorious display of fall floral color.
My own young autumn purple ash tree is simply magnificent. It is not really purple, as its name suggests it might be, but its foliage has turned from green to a red/yellow blend that I would -- without exaggeration -- call exquisite.
More often than not, mid- to late October brings us rain, sleet, high winds, killing frost, even snow. Fall foliage can't survive.
Lord knows Denver needs moisture -- Denver always needs moisture -- but just this time, maybe, there's an excuse to enjoy a dry, quiet October.
Cheers!
