FALLing Rain

Pouring rain crashes to the ground,
A happy reminder that fall has arrived in Los Angeles;
Before long unnecessary fires will be lit,
And hipsters will be wearing tailored layers and scarves.
I’m okay with that––in fact, I’ll join in the fun.
The temperature might not drop below fifty degrees;
But in LA, it’s always important to dress the part!

Back to School

The fall is here;

Big yellow buses line up along the school yard.

At thirty-eight years old, I still feel the anticipation and weight of September.

Summer is over—and so are the vacations, swim days, midday movies, and lazy TV watching.

The joy of picking out my "first day" outfit; first impressions count!

Meeting new friends, maneuvering around campus and classes; too much homework.

As an adult I appreciate the return of fall;

Crisp weather, layered clothing, and reading a book cozied up by the fireplace.

Occasionally waking up in a panic about finishing homework—and then I remember that I work for myself, and all is well! 

Fall

The crisp air delights;
Layered clothing and coffee.
Invigorated.

Life Cycle

Staring out of the window in my office,
I become mesmerized with the colors of the changing leaves.
The beauty of fall; golden, red, brown, and still a hint of green––which reminds me that even in transition there is life.
Renewal everywhere. Good or bad, everything passes in a season.

Fall

Layers of earthy cozy delight,

Pumpkin Spice Latte's and crisp morning strolls.

Grounded colors rich and bold.

I love the fall!

Six Word Essay on Morning Walks

I love the crisp fall air!

Fall

Overcast skies,
Crisp chill in the air.
Pumpkin Spice lattés keep me warm and satisfied.
Layered clothes in rich earthy tones;
Topped off with a bold scarf and fashionable hat.
My internal clock reminds me that the time change is rapidly approaching.
Short days, equal cozy nights,
I love the fall!

Crisp and Chill

It's a brisk fall day in LA.
I love the rolling fog along the Hollywood Hills.
If it weren't for the palm trees,
I'd swear I was on the east coast!
I'm going to get outside and take a hike...
Breathe in some of that crisp air,
Regroup, refocus and revitalize in the chill!

September

Another summer comes to an end.
September is upon us;
Fall,
Back to school,
Pumpkin Spice lattes,
The daily grind,
Football games,
Layers of clothing,
The brisk chill in the air,
The smell of fireplaces at night.
Before long we'll be hearing Christmas music playing in drugstores!
Oh yeah, and rent is due!
Happy September

Fall

Crisp air.

The smell of a fireplace.

Craft fairs and pumpkin patches.

Layered clothing.

The sound of football pouring out of the neighborhood bar.

The Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks!

The build up to the holidays...

I LOVE the Fall!

Fall Is In The Air...

The sweet crisp smell in the air.
Twilight comes sooner than you expect-
It reminds me of the start of a new school year,
Those days are long gone.
But the magic remains-
Every sports bar on every corner is jam packed with cheering football fans.
It's hard to resist the roar of the crowd!
Or the taste of a fresh draft beer.
Fall is in the air!

SUNday.

The title says it all...
The sun is finally back in Los Angeles!
After what felt like months, but was more realistically about two weeks...
the golden star has made it's come back!
Just in time for this beautiful fall Sunday in October.
It's hard to be upset on a day like today!
