Taking it Easy on the First Day of Fall

Sep 22, 2024 15:18

Today's the first day of Fall. How are we celebrating it? Well, we went to the pool this morning.

It looked gloomy outside so we were thinking, "Warm up in the hot tub." It's been weeks since we used our own hot tub, anyway. A gloomy morning seemed like the right time to get back in the groove. But then the sky cleared as we got in the water.



It's turned out to be a beautiful day today. The sky is clear (after morning clouds burned off) and the air is a pleasantly warm 82° at the afternoon high. What a wonderful day for... doing nothing.

We feel like we deserve a rest today. Yesterday we were out all day with an adventure up in the Sierras. Yeah, I'm behind on blogging about that. So far all I've posted is our first stop of the day yesterday at Silver Lake. But hey, at least this morning I finally caught up on blogging about our Blue Ridge Mountains trip- the one that we came home from two weeks ago-with my blog this morning about visiting Mt. Mitchell.

Fall had already seemed to come to the mountains of North Carolina 2-3 weeks ago. Temperatures were cool there, like summer was already over. Out here in California September has been a mixed bag, temperature-wise. We've had some cooler days and some warmer ones. We planned our trip to the Sierras yesterday as kind of a "last hurrah" for summer. Right now the forecast shows it'll remain warm at least into next weekend.... That's not surprising for here, as generally September's a good month weather-wise. But next Friday Hawk is having some outpatient surgery on her foot, so it's basically the end of the season hiking-wise.
