Today was the first day that it felt like fall here. With highs only in the upper 70s to mid 80s, Redding is starting to make the shift that many others have already made. We're hoping for some pumpkin picking and carving in the future when it's actually chilly outside. We have heard reports of snow cones being served at pumpkin patches rather than hot drinks because it was just that hot out.
I'd rather have no pumpkins than pumpkins with snow cones.
October has felt like a shift in more ways than just the weather.
Tonight we had a meal and bonfire at our house with some friends. 15-hour roasted barbecue, good company, lots of bread and balsamic, dinner outside and a fire that was actually necessary for us to stay warm. Pulling out a real sweater to wear outside was possibly the most comforting thing that happened all day.
Redding is truly starting to feel like our home.
