Fall is here!!!!

I have been so caught up in all the drama I call MY LIFE over the last 2 months or so I almost missed the change of the seasons. Mark asked me if I wanted to drive with him to southern Indiana this morning and I almost said NO. Boy am I glad went. The drive was spectacular. I was kicking myself for not bringing the camera. The beginning of the leaves changing is my favorite time to wonder around. It makes me remember a lot of great things from growing up. Trick or treating was a big deal to us kids. (it was still safe for kids back then) We would plan out every detail for Halloween it was a ritual that was drawn out over the weeks prior to Halloween. People don't think of California and changing of the seasons, hell it's the land of never ending sunshine. I am often surprised at how many misconceptions people have about the land of fruit's and nut's. Any way I'm off the subject I just Loved fall until about 8 years ago. When I realized it meant that the snow was just around the corner it seemed to loose a lot of it's beauty. Don't get me wrong I do not hate winter I just wish it was shorter. (about 2 month's shorter) Indiana is a very beautiful place until it's 15` and the wind is blowing 30 mph. then it is kind of UGLY. Any way I am off the subject again I really needed the ride in the country today it lifted my spirits and cleared my head. Now if I can just get my life back on track I will be O.K. I think I will try to wonder about tomorrow with the camera and see what I can capture. Who knows the two little jokers might be out and about.
