Weather or Not

 After days of 100 plus days, the weather did a huge change.  The temperature suddenly dropped.  I went from waking up to it being 77 in the house to it being 68,  The T-shirts I was wearing were not enough and I put long sleeve shirts on over them.  Well, for a day.  Another big change as all that unusual humidity we were getting blew away and the air became light and dry as a Santa Ana blew in.  The temperature is going back up to the 90s.

All the abrupt changes are disquieting, but the winds add something more.  There has already been a warning text from the city about fire danger.  The winds themselves feel eerie and put people on edge.  I'm certainly on edge.  It's a good time for some crochet therapy while trying to let it all go.

I watched a new show called CUPERTINO.  I loved that the female lead crocheted to calm herself.  I wonder if the writers will keep her doing that in future shows.  

Meanwhile I am trying to shut out all the local weather and think Midwest fall as I work on the third Crochet and Crumpet mystery.  Instead of seeing green leaves on the lime tree outside my window, I am trying to picture red leaves fluttering down from as trees become skeletons.  It is fun seeing it through the eyes of the two California girls.
