Last Leaves

A few leaves still cling
The nights are frosty and cold
The burned hills stay dry

We're used to wild fires.
We're used to rain in the winter, tall grass in the spring, dry summers and diablo winds from the desert.
This year they all happened and the results were catastrophic. They continue to be catastrophic well into December in Southern California where the hills are still burning. 
There is no question in my mind that climate change is here.
