I have a sensitive nose and although these trees are beautiful, when the blossoms fall they start to smell a bit rancid.

It's about 96 right now. Yesterday it got up to 98, I think. It's supposed to cool down starting tomorrow. Later this summer we'll have longer stretches where it stays that hot for a week or two, if history repeats itself.<BR/><BR/>Katie, we have a great local guide called <A HREF="" REL="nofollow" HTTP://HOMETOWN-PASADENA.COM/>Hometown Pasadena</A>, which states that "Some 57,000 trees shade the streets", plus 25,000 park and wild trees, and another 123,000 estimated on private property.
