tehachapi

I apologize for the lack of blogging this week. On Sunday I went up to Tehachapi and wound up staying a bit longer than originally planned. It was nice to have crappy internet to the point where it was so annoying you had no desire to check your e-mail, etc. It was also nice to be in the mountains and be in a place where there are no street lights and you have to turn your porch lights off by 10pm. Oh, there's also a local saloon. Yes, saloon. The main reason for my visit was to spend time with a family that "adopted" me when I moved out to California. My "cali mama" lost her hard fought battle with uterine cancer Tuesday night. She was one of the most amazing ladies I have ever met. I can't discuss it any further/don't want to. I came home yesterday afternoon and when I couldn't sleep last night, I flipped through my camera and found all the pictures I took when I was there. So I thought I'd share them with you. Enjoy! 

It was 29 degrees at night. It made me long for my east coast nights where my friends and I
would be bundled up on someone's front porch. I bundled myself up and enjoyed the crisp/cold air.

This reminds me of how beautiful the east coast looks like when the leaves begin to change colors.

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. The air becomes crisp and cool, the trees turn into beautiful shades of yellow and orange and you trade summer dresses for boots. These images are a little reminder that Fall is right around the corner and Los Angeles won't stay in the 80s forever. Happy Friday! 

Perfect for rainy days

Apple cider tastes the best after spending a day picking pumpkins and going on hayrides on a crisp fall day.

So far I haven't found a single pumpkin patch out west that can compare to the ones back east.
