Autumn is creeping in...

...right into my front yard.
Just as I eagerly await spring, I eagerly await autumn--my most favorite time of the year.
 I am often disappointed by summer's lingering touch. In my opinion, its welcome is well worn out by now. (I'm a California girl that doesn't fit the typical mold.) I look forward to crisp sunny days, pants and sweaters, cozy socks and the smell of autumn air, the crunch of crispy leaves.
But alas, living in California, autumn is but just a short wink of time, a few weeks, and then the dreary grey of winter waltzes in and I am sad.
I must cherish autumn while I can.


My neighbor's tree is more eager to race into autumn.
He is showing off his colors already.


Yippy for Autumn!
