In other areas in the country there is a bigger difference in seasons than here in So Cal. With that said here it is October and I am still in short skirts and sandals.
Last Sunday at the beach and it was our version of fall. It was really cold and even the sand was cold. I really needed my booties but I forget them. Needless to say I wasn’t able to stay out very long, since my feet and hands started to go numb.
It was very clear and the winds had made it especially pretty. Looking toward Long Beach and then towards the Balboa Peninsula was breath taking.
The rest of the week had been marked by highs and lows. With the high winds, this makes for hard decisions on what to wear. As we try to be comfortable, we find the need to keep sweaters and t-shirts both handy. I just put flannel sheets on my bed and by Wednesday I wished I had not.
For me another mark of fall is the constant need to use a decongestant. If I don’t I can’t breathe. I also can’t exercise too much since that will result in a sinus infection and I will be sick for about two weeks and I just don’t have time to be sick for that long.
As for the surf it should be picking up and the winter can be so great around here. I am looking forward to that and more days of cooler weather. Sure we don’t have falling leaves, well maybe on one side of the yard. We do have the hot dry Santa Ana’s and we still get to go to the beach all year long.
As the days get shorter and we have to wear hoodies rather than just t-shirts, well that is fall and winter for us. Beats shoveling snow any day.
