90 Degrees and More Than Sunny

We are in the middle of a fall heat wave. It's supposed to be 90 degrees in Santa Monica tomorrow.

The thing about this is that I'm ready for boots and scarves and sweaters. The other bummer is that even though it's still summer temperatures, all the fun summer activities, like Concerts on the Pier (pictured) and movies at Hollywood Forever cemetery, are all done for the year.

It's funny how timing plays so much into my attitude. Really when I think about it, it's amazing that we have such sunny days ahead of us. It's beach weather in mid-October, for heaven's sake. But because summer is over, my expectations have shifted and I have to force myself to remember to be grateful it is so nice outside. Beach day, anyone?!
