t.s. eliot writes that april is the cruelest month, but here in california i think fall is pretty wicked. while the rest of the country marvels at the changing leaves and that crisp autumnal chill out here in the west we get schorching triple digit septembers, choking santa anta octobers, and a bevy of floods and fires for your november. in this california house fall meant going back to the 3-1 commute after a swedish fidfam summer and a feast-or-famine family time. but winter, well here's the secret. winter is what california (and this little house in the ranch) does best. i know, "dreaming of a white christmas" and that snuggling by the fire. but give me a desert or beach winter evening, some sand and (as b. put it best) a string of white lights around a palm tree and call it christmas. this year, this winter, it seems i claimed my little corner of california.
before december slips away, here are some snapshots of the best moments with f&f.
