Late Bloomer

Well, well, well. We are very pleasantly surprised to see that Sacramento hasn't disappointed us. It just procrastinated a bit. Beautiful fall colors have almost suddenly unfolded. Most of the colors seem to be "rusty" (burnt orange and red, and deep purples) but many of them are bright and vibrant. In fact, there are several trees in our apartment complex that are gorgeous - bright reds and yellows. Kevin says one of them looks like a "big stick" popsicle - red on the top, orange and yellow on the bottom. Incredible! Kevin says we need to get pictures so that all our friends "back east" will believe us.

Question of the day: Why do they call them "back east" and "out west," respectively? (I really don't know the answer, by the way.)
