Weather
I like many things about the change of seasons here in Indiana. Others, not so much. For instance, it's a hassle to have to take the summer clothes down to storage in the basement before winter, and bring up the winter clothes, then switch them before summer. Plus you always have to leave a few clothes from the previous season, because as soon as you think winter is coming it gets warm again, and vice versa. I do like the distinct beauty of each season. In Calif. people seem to think that good weather is their natural-born-right. Here in Indiana when we have a rare good day, we appreciate it. People go around smiling, and talking about how nice the weather is. In Calif. they just take it for granted. Even so, I'm not looking forward to winter. If I didn't have to go anyplace, and none of my family had to drive anywhere it would be OK. But I do, and they do. Here is a picture of our first frost, a few days ago.
A foggy morning.Calif. has Real FOG. This is just mist, but it scares Indiana natives just like snow scares those who live in warm climes.
And before I say good-night, I'll show you a picture of the Queen, observing her royal Queendom.

I am so grateful for the good weather in California! I was just thinking this evening on my walk how lucky I am that it's the end of October and I can wear my cute little sundress and sandals.
You're making me jealous. I'm wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt.
your cat is looking so longingly over that "catdom" out the window ~ too cute ~
Catdom.....I like that. She used to be an indoor/outdoor cat. Now she is only indoors.
I'm not too concerned about fog but it does create its own problems. When the kids were in school I used to loathe the school delays due to fog. Work was never delayed so it caused conflicts... The Queen is looking very regal!
We lived 6 blocks from the beach when I was a kid. Foggy days we'd walk to school, and when we got there we couldn't see the playground fence from across the little street.
Yes, the two fogs are very different. I was amazed, when I lived in Sacramento, that fog comes up from the ground rather than blowing in from the sea! Both can be equally thick and scary -- the first time I was there, I stayed in a hotel for a week, and didn't know there was a freeway just outside the front door! I do love our foggy days!
I see the kitty
that is foggy lovely
