Amazing Days

Earthlings have landed a spaceship on a comet 250,000 million miles from Earth.

Glorious feat!

This link compares the comet to the size of Los Angeles--fairly large, but a very tiny target for a spaceship to find while circling the sun.

Autumn in southern CA

We do get some fall color in southern California, at least with our liquid amber trees.  

I planted this one in about 1998.

I love watching the leaves come out in the spring, glow with green in the summer, and turn to red and gold in the autumn.

Hallelujah!
