DIXON — This is turning into the lengthy fall I needed to get my winter preparations accomplished: storing summer supplies like tools and clothes, planting bulbs, finding a snow brush and shovel and getting back to indoor activities like taking care of apples I snatched before the bears got to them.
What a glorious display of larch trees amongst the other conifers. Traveling between the coast and Montana lately, it was interesting to discover at what altitude they started appearing. Did you know they aren’t everywhere? Larch (Tamarack) trees turn golden in the fall and drop their needles. Our nearest display can be seen around Evaro Hill.
