The Mountains to the Sea

It's not winter yet
but it is coming
it would be early
for rain
usually not until after
new years
around here

Thanksgiving and Christmas
are always warm and offshore
I spent 1961 thru 1969 in Burbank

Stuffing and turkey instead of
Stuffing myself into barrels
alas without a mat in those days

some years there were fires
the diablo winds
the Santa Anas

they can burn everything
"From the Mountains to the Sea"
The early local TV tag line
a reference to the southland
but an apt reminder
of the power of nature
