The Sothern California climate has changed to what it should have been all of this month -- lower temperatures. People almost everywhere else are already accustomed to cool days and even cooler (read: cold) nights.
The other morning, it was 62 in the house and 48 out in the backyard (and probably elsewhere as well.) ((Just whoofin'))
And what changes have I personally, seen with my very own eyes? Our three cats are a lot livelier. There is more of spring to their prance; they are staying awake longer than usually before starting their morning naps. They seek out the living room chairs that get the morning sun - and bask.
Lady Bird, the cockatiel, calls to be uncovered earlier and as it gets cooler, I'll be watching to see if this trend continues.
Even I, cynic and desperado that I am, find that I'm generally in a very good mood these days and I put it down to this - having grown up in the midWest where they actually have four seasons - I know that cooler weather heralds THANKSGIVING, the annual gathering of like souls and some damned fine eating.
As if that wasn't enough to put a spring in the old stride, CHRISTMAS PARTIES are right behind. To get a "good" date (after 12/15) you need to be organized. The South Bay Writers Workshop (better known as Thurs. Writers) Christmas potluck just got scheduled for Thurs. 12/17. One of the members has passed out fliers to her 'do on the 12th.
Yes! Parties! Bring it on! We've all got warm clothes and in this season, warmer hearts.
