Another Look

The grape vine on the north side of the house continues to change colors, now with shades of yellow and red. I don't care if it ever puts it edible fruit if it looks this pretty during the fall (yes, it's still fall here in the desert, 70 degrees today).

In other yard news:

- I planted a second jujube tree, this one a lang, to compliment the li that I already had. The lang only produces if the li is nearby, and the li's productivity increases with lang nearby. The california pepper tree that was in the way got moved over to the corner of the house.

- The bush river willow, which typically is the last plant to change color, is turning a bruised purple with hints of yellow and red. I'll post a picture of it in the coming days.

- To coincide with the last fall color of the season, our hardenbergia vine is sporting rows of buds in preparation for blooming, it being the first blooming plant of the year. Funny how these two things come back to back here, never a boring month for something to look at in the yard.
