The recent rain has been welcome; we don’t get enough of it in California. It makes me appreciate the wonderful weather this state normally enjoys almost year round. Autumn is certainly here, and the leaves change and the temperature drops. Maybe because they only come once a year and California rarely cold, but I seem to always forget what autumn and winter really feel like. We’re so lucky to inhabit a planet with this orbit, to experience four unique seasons. Just living on this planet itself is a miracle.
