It's fall isn't it?

So why is my crepe myrtle just now blooming?

I guess because we're just now getting some rain.

The flowering crabapple with white blossoms and green leaves is loaded with fruit for the birds.

But the one with pink blossoms and rusty leaves has lost everything.

The holly berries are just starting to turn red.

They'll be bright red all winter, and come spring the returning birds will feast on them and then sit in the walnut tree and poop in my car.
