It's officially fall!

I don't know why, but I've really been looking forward to fall this year. Maybe it's the change in the weather that I'm eager to see (and feel), even though we don't have a lot of fall leaves around here. I think part of it is that I enjoy the seasonal decorations, which also is a sign that the holiday season is around the corner with more decorating, baking, and gift making--all things which I enjoy!

One place I love to go in the fall is Julian. Even though it still is southern California it's a different place up there. The colors change, the air is crisp, it's a beautiful winding country road, and the town is just so picturesque. You pass by hills and meadows, cows in pastures, old houses that trees have grown into, apple orchards--it's so nostalgic. I love walking when the air has that touch of cold that you can just almost see your breath. So, I'm excited that it's fall even though it won't look too much like the seasons have changed around here.
