Say Hello to December; Photo. More Ascender’s Photos.

glowing incandescently, the season
opens to itself, as if a familiar stunt
in a traveling show, a fabulation only

I hope you had a lovely holiday (not here in the US?… a lovely regular) weekend! Our Thanksgiving was a welcome break from a wave of work, and we had a nice time cooking way too much food for ourselves. One of the advantages of adult children is not having to do all the cooking! I enjoying my break hanging out with family & friends – we drove to the butterfly preserve (below) and played in Scrabble tournament with friends. I was not able to take our Scrabble set as I had altered it into art years ago.

December in California – I am still not used to it and we have been here over ten years. These photos were taken down by Half Moon Bay.  Remember back when they predicted a El Nino winter for us?  Not happening. We went to the beach in Pacifica yesterday and it was well over 75 degrees, yet, there are signs of Christmas everywhere.
