September and October are my favorite months in Northern California. The days are hot- it feels just like the midwest minus the humidity.
It's not often that I can sit down on a Monday night and enjoy the evening sun coming down. Even with my soothing glass of wine I still feel a faint tug to pay the stack of bills sitting by the computer. Or sweep. The never ending cat litter.
The house is dim, but not dark just yet and I can look around and feel peaceful because Paul and I spent the rainy Sunday making it sparkle.
I enjoy this alone time to relax.
