Autumn in California

California is a desert, beautiful for 
long days of Spring, but Autumn
in Los Angeles, like most things,
is mainly based on traffic...if you 
are lucky enough to drive by a tract 
of homes that has a Maple tree or two
the leaves will turn colors but it is
nothing like back east. Our summers
lasts until November. Most the plants 
here are bougainvillaeas and those 
that endure desert heat. The rains come
quickly, usually in February, but not 
for long. We don't really have Autumn 
in the sense you are referring
to, though it sounds very nice.

    Julie,, Stopping by to greet you and every other soup poet, with a special thank you comment, during this wonderful Thanksgiving season. Hope you do not mind the time I am taking to express my sincere appreciation for any support you have offered during the years, or time you have been here on the soup. I am deeply thankful and extend to you my best wishes for a happy and healthy Poetic Magical Thanksgiving Day. *Always & Forever, the Poet Destroyer; -*
