Millet, how are the fall colors in your neck of the woods? That's one thing I miss about Kansas City is the fall. My wife and I were married in October in Prairie Village, KS. Absolutely beautiful time of year. We then spent our honeymoon in Eureka Springs, Arkansas in the Ozarks. I don't think we could have picked a better time of year and location for our honeymoon.
Here in San Diego, we only have one season (brown). We get a few weeks of green on the hillsides. Sometimes with plenty of rain, it almost looks like Ireland until the fires come and burn it all up.
