Last of the Summer Wine

As this Summer closes, the weather has turned even here in sunny California...some warm evenings still prevail, but the local trees are turning all the glorious colours of the coming season and the winds of change are upon us! As Cricket always reminds us - Summer is not over until my birthday!

Harvest Moon is early this year (15th) and we will hopefully have a clear sky to view it, this season we'll look forward to trips to the Griffith Observatory with the children and roast beast!

It's nearly done..

Here are some recent memories from our trips to northern beaches in Malibu this Summer. Being stuck in Los Angeles wasn't so awful after all!!

Thanks Olorin.....
Blooms are nearly on their way Mac Annie!
