it's fall! or at least it should be, but the temperature hasn't really dropped here in San Diego. From the people i have talked to, this is the time of year that non-native San Diegoans miss their hometowns the most. Most of San Diego has moved here from other regions of the US, mainly due to the wonderful weather. But, with the months of October and November here, the temperatures dipping for the rest of the country, but not us.... it seems like everyone wants to reminisce about the way the leaves change and rustle; how they used to get bundled up and cover their heads against the cold wind; drink hot chocolate and eat pumpkin pie and other comfort foods.
Here and there in San Diego, i have found the occasional maple tree that's starting to change. Its colors changing ever so slightly from green to yellow to orangey-red, all on one leaf. i miss that smell in the air that feels like fall, when you know it's right arund the corner, or announcing that it's here for another year.
the last couple days the temperture did drop into high 50's in the evening.... and although we don't have the fully changing colors of fall.. we did have fog at twilight, which is another natural wonder in itself.
