Taste of Fall


Albert Camus once wrote, "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
Well, the leaves at Contra Loma aren't yet turning colors, but today we definitely had the taste of fall in the air. It was one of those beautiful days with sunshine, crisp air, and a cool breeze. Tonight after church it was even chilly!!
When we lived in Arkansas we loved the fall because that was the one time of the year with California weather. And even in Houston we had California weather once in a while. Well, we get it here a lot.
It'll probably get warm again before fall weather sets in for good, but today's coolness reminds me that crisp air and colorful leaves are just around the corner... followed by our winter rains and a greening of the hills. Seasons are fun, even if they are a little mixed up here.
