Longer Shadows
It's hard to tell the season by the temperatures in So. Cal.... we might have weather warm enough to swim, when the first frosts lay on the ground. I lived upstate New York for many years, and remembered how October brought the first brief snow-- warning of things to come-- and the saying I learned well "Frost on the pumpkin, snow on the turkey" ( snow near Halloween that melts, then the first big season long snow on Thanksgiving). Yeah, hard to figure that I lived in cold weather land (specially since I am no fan of the heat!) Well, driving home this evening, after melting all day, I had a strange feeling. A little melancholy, like something was going to be lost. Then it dawned on me-- the shadows were getting longer-- the surest sign of the change of seasons. Who could ever guess? When daylight savings time changes in late October, do you feel any difference? When the clocks change, it takes me a while to adjust!

While I am frying, Big M will be freezing! October is often hot in So Cal!

well-- another image I want to share.. Enjoy!

(these aren't my parrots, but it was fun to watch them play !)
