What a lovely autumn here in southern CA. Days are sunny with temperatures averaging mid 70’s and evenings are very crisp and cool. Mornings are greeted with coffee (again) cheers! I found a new coffee cream aka half n half that I’m adjusting to just dandy. The healthy new me/us is improving and things are going well.
These pix were taken on one of my enjoyable hikes in the sunshine.
The color of autumn in So Cal. Have I mentioned “I love autumn” from the rooftops? Well I’m doing it now. Come to think of it, I believe I sing it from the rooftops every year.
Autumn in Southern California is simply amazing. Meet the Chorisia speciosa AKA majestic beauty. I’ve taken pix of these trees in the fog and on blue sunny mornings. No matter the background, this tree is no doubt majestic.
Hiking and house hunting ~ I looked at another house last week, this time it was in our neighborhood. How fun to house hunt on foot. We love our quiet neighborhood nestled in the mountains with a nearby lake. Who knows, our next house may be right under our nose…
One of our beautiful evenings.
Another haircut? When the urge strikes, I take my head of hair into my own hands. Cut by me this time…
Halloween night ~ Best costume by far ~ My Cowboy! He even answered the door saying “howdy”.
The morning after – This is what was lurking behind the freezer door, two Reese’s! I touched them but they had a special someone’s name on them. It was a positive experience as I was able to 100% stay away from all chocolate and goodies. I’m saving up “BIG TIME” for Thanksgiving!
I’ve shared this view from my hike so many times. But, as I was hiking this week, I had to stop and enjoy the sunshine as it burned the fog from the mountain tops.
Lesson Learned: Learn when to leave well enough alone! Apparently I couldn’t stop cutting my hair. Now I just need it to grow an inch or so. I had to break down and make that emergency call to have my girl get me out of a pickle. No more cuts for me for a long time. Promise!
A quote from my hubby’s FB status this morning – “Something’s going on here. My wife had a bad hair day on 12/31/1999. We call it the “Y2K hair day”. Now she has another bad hair day on 11022011. What are the odds of that? If I could only predict when the next Y2K hair day will be, then I would keep her away from salons and scissors that day. PS: Debbie, your hair looks fine!”
I LOVE that he loves me no matter what!
The evolution of the haircut – I’m assuring myself that it has already started to grow. That = I have stopped cutting it for the first day in a while. The aim is for it to reach the length of the top two pix.
And on that note, I’m pleased to report that I’m pretty much caught up.
On a brand new note ~ “Do you realize Thanksgiving is just 3 weeks from today?” I can’t wait for the turkey and all the fixin’s!
Cheers to Autumn with a thankful heart!
Blessings – Debbie
