Welcome to autumn!

[Amy SF]

Well, here in Southern California we have another heat wave on the way this week, with temps reaching into the 90’s even here at the coast, and nearing triple digits inland. I’m not happy about it. But at least there are plenty signs of autumn in other ways, such as the pumpkins in the market, new horror films coming to theaters in the next month, Halloween everything, and a plea for money to fund meals for needy people this coming holiday season that arrived in my mailbox yesterday from Feeding America. Pretty soon I’ll be getting Christmas catalogs in the mail. So I just have to grit my teeth, be patient, and we should have real autumn weather in Southern California pretty soon. Look out kids, the Santa Ana winds are coming! *shudders*

Hey, you bumped my thread! The thread I'd totally forgotten about. But yes, it's that time of year again. We've got a mix of warm weather and possible rain this week. I tracked the weather forecast for my zip code for the next few weeks, and we should be having lovely autumn weather by Halloween. There are pumpkins piled high at the supermarkets. *sings* It's beginning to look a lot like autumn, everywhere I go...

I see we had the same crappy weather last year too. In the 100's this weekend.

But at least it's cooling off at night. Last night was the first time in a month that I didn't wake up in the middle of the night all hot and sweaty.

Bring on autumn! I miss the fall colors up in the Northwest, but I still enjoy it here in Southern California with the cooler weather and crisp, windy days. Football and hockey seasons begin and life stops for the World Series. School is back in session. My favorite time of year.

It's still summery here, and I am happy about that.

I'm enjoyed Autumn with it's cool evenings and chilly nights. We had an awful, hot summer which seemed like it was never ending.

I appreciate the thought. Maybe next year.

It's my Albany weekend with grammar school friends. Bummer. And I missed the Boston trip last week. I was prepared to message you to see if you wanted to meet us somewhere...I even map quested your address and the place where I was staying. I think it was only a half hour from each other. Stupid eye problem I had...I had to stay home. I missed going to Salem, too. [emoji31]

Bummer is right. We will miss you.

I think it's time to make some pumpkin soup as evenings are staring to feel chilly.

I bought another cauliflower. I have to make more of the vegan buffalo cauliflower chowder that I made two weeks ago.

Did you happen to post the recipe and I missed it? I have a cauliflower I bough on markdown. I was going to make an alfredo with it, but I would rather a chowder, I think.

 

[KLS52]

Pretty sure I did somewhere but here it is again. I used coconut milk instead of almond and it was amazing!
