It’s
finally fall in Southern California , as it is
over most of the rest of the country.
A couple of
weekends ago, I sweltered outside all day at the West Hollywood Book Fair--a
fun event but the heat exhausted me.
This
past
weekend, my dogs and I took several fun walks outside in cooler
weather. Now, cool weather in L.A. isn’t necessarily as chilly as it is
in
other parts of the country, but it’s still a lot more comfortable than
the
heat.
It feels
good sitting at my computer without needing the air conditioning on while I
write in the middle of the afternoon. I
think I get more done that way, too. I’m
plotting my next mystery and will soon do a final edit on my Harlequin Nocturne
that’s due in a few weeks.
Of course
the weather forecasts don’t say that there won’t be further hot weather this
season, but I’ll enjoy all I can for now, at least.
When I
lived in the east, my favorite time of the year used to be fall, and in some
ways it still is even though I don’t usually get to see the leaves change in a
gorgeous autumn way.
What’s your
favorite time of year?

Fall has always been my favorite. Even though in places with four seasons it is really a season of dying - green leaves turn brown and fall off, flower finish their bloom and die - to me it has always felt like a beginning. After the languid days of summer, it feels like life starts up again.
Love it, Betty!
Betty, you're right. I like to say that autumn is when spring's promise is kept. I always feel more cheerful and energetic in the fall.
