Frost

Last night I officially went from two homes to one - finally! After 3 car trips with final batches of stuff from Cupertino to Palo Alto, hours of vacuuming by yours truly, and more hours of shower-scrubbing by my guy, we finally closed the two garage doors of our original townhouse and drove away.

This morning when we woke up, my guy went outside and found our cars and the front yard covered by fallen red leaves, their edges covered in webs of frost. He brought in a leaf to show me, but of course the ice melted as he walked past the heater. So we both headed outside, heavy coats on - our feet crunched through the frozen grass. Yes, there is such a thing as winter in California!

Ahhhh. . . .
