Frost, yeah, I've heard about that stuff too. Where does it come from and where does it go?

I've been wearing shorts this weekend its so hot. Went to Stanford's opening convocation outdoors in the quad, last Thursday, they were passing out fans and free bottles of water to the audience to lessen the chances of heat stoke and fainting.

The only red, orange and yellow leaves around here are poison oak. We do have dead grasses showing straw white on the hills though.

Frost on Fall and Frost ...

OCTOBER

O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchanted the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost --
For the grapes' sake along the wall.
