fall

It's been getting as autumn-like as it can get in southern California. The leaves still change colors here, but some days are hot enough to make you want to go to the beach. I'm remembering driving down Fredrick Road in Ellicott City in the fall and watching the yellow leaves blow around in the wind and the cows grazing on the side of the hill across from the antique shop, where I once stopped and bought celery salt and pepper shakers, and an owl pillow for a friend. Tuesday night I saw Belle & Sebastian play in a cemetery and it was just cold enough for a dress with leggings and I probably didn't need my parka. They were amazing, of course, but I did think the Sunday night show was the best. I was so happy when they played There's Too Much Love I teared up a little, what a weenie. They are just so magical.
