First Day of Fall in Carlsbad
It's hard to believe but today is the first day of fall, and the Fall Equinox. It seems like summer just started and now it's come and gone.
The beaches are quieter now that many tourists have left, and the kids are back in school.
The leaves have been changing - yes, we do have fall colors here in SoCal, it's just not as dramatic as elsehwere in the country. Our temperatures haven't changed much yet, however; in fact September and October can still offer us some pretty warm weather, and can bring us the Santa Ana winds. We even had some much welcome rain earlier this week which is unusual. The days are noticeably shorter and we are halfway to the shortest day...and Daylight Savings TIme will end in less than 2 months.
The holiday season is off and running - Halloween is just a few weeks away and stores have been preparing for weeks now. And we are seeing the holiday shopping season beginning, with displays and specials to get your shopping done well in advance of the late December rush.
Fall also means the end of my summer profile photo and back to the standard...until summer 2017!
