Barbara, I feel your pain (brown leaves on trees).. Most of the oaks on the hill behind us are dying.. Probably sudden oak death that took hold in drought weakened trees. The oaks that are there were the survivors from the first wave.
Cleta, I've always wanted to see the fall color in the East. Lucky you! I'll bet your trip has been beneficial to your healing too (not being home and felling like you have to do things...).
I've planted things that get good fall color here.. It doesn't compare to back East, but it's not bad for here. Still a couple/few weeks away.. Longing for fall......
