I'm going to attempt to post something to all the blogs I contribute to before we leave for a long weekend in Pacific Grove. We were hoping to stay in Asilomar like we did one year, but it was all booked up, so we're going to the nearby "HoJo". Let me just say that it's been eons since I stayed in a Howard Johnson, and this looks about a million times more upscale than any HoJo I've ever stayed in.
Anyway, I keep meaning to say that for the past week or two, it's been feeling like fall around here--finally! After those horrible, horrible weeks of 115-degree heat this summer, we're due a good long autumn. It's my favorite season, too. There's something about the quality of light in the fall that's so much nicer and gentler than the summer sun, blazing down on you blindingly like you're in some fascist interrogation chamber. The other day we even had our first rainshower of the season, which was very pleasant. I was hoping the rain would launder my car for me, but all it seems to have done was move the dirt around. (Washing my car is not high on my list of priorities. Fortunately, my car's a light silvery blue color that hides dirt quite well.)
Well, we're off tomorrow to the wonderful ocean. Finally, a few days of real vacation!

Have a great time! Ditto about the light in the fall. It's finally fallish over here, too. :) I got to wear a sweater today.
They HAVE Fall in the Central Valley? Who Knew?!
Hey, we actually get quite a bit of fall color in terms of the leaves changing, around here, because of the type of climate change that occurs in fall--very cold nights and sunny days, I think, is what does it. I love it!
