Warm October

Apparently it's been unusually warm here.

To me, it feels normal.

75 on Halloween? Perfect!

So, I'm already dreading (and preparing my cold little feet) for winter.

Or maybe even a true Autumn since it hasn't hit yet.

Although the trees around here don't know that. They are putting on quite a show.

But a few weeks ago we ran around with shoes off at the park,

collecting berries and sticks and all kinds of treasures.

In dog poop bags. 

Because that's what they do here....

have dog poop bags at every single park.

Just in case you forgot to bring your own

(and now have absolutely no excuse to pick it up!)

The whole thing cracks me up, compared to Pasadena

where you fend for yourself and your dog's feces.

So here they were, collecting.

And wouldn't you know that the warm weather had everyone wishing for a sledding day?

These kids have never seen snow. 

They don't really know what a sledding day is.

But they know they'll be warm.

And ready.

Vail, anyone?
