I love you for saying this, and I love the description. People who come here and bitch endlessly about how 'ugly' and 'drab' and 'boring' my home (I might be a TAD possessive!) is make me unhappy. You describe it beautifully, and show its true beauty.
indeed anyone who tells me that Los Angeles doesn't have "real" weather or "real" seasons will get a fierce argument out of me
//eyeroll I GREW UP in Walnut Creek, Burlingame, Oakland, &c &c and I remember the rainy seasons and the SUMMER very well. Hell, one time we even had snow! Doesn't anyone ever read Steinbeck anymore? For all his (many) flaws he describes CA v well.
Also, I spent a loooot of time in NM, and it kind of greatly amuses me when people say how cold it is here when it's sixty or even seventy degrees. I remember its routinely getting so freezing in Santa Fe once the sun went behind the mountains in winter you couldn't even walk down the block. I find the weather here v mild and temperate. (When we first moved here, we were like "Moss on the sidewalks! Flowers! In February!")
ETA I didn't see you'd done EARRINGS (congested head is congested and lacks reading comprehension), those sound lovely. Do you have pix?
