Here’s wishing you and yours a happy holiday season of fun and connecting with those you love.
My partner and I are house-sitting in the Santa Cruz area for the next few weeks. During the many days when clear weather dominates, the sunny-day temps hit the low to mid-60s, which is what we have now. Far better than the snow, wind, and cold temps that dominate during winter at our home near Mount Shasta in far northern California.
We’re hiking in places like Big Basin State Park and on the many Pacific Ocean beaches, and we’re visiting with the many friends we have in the area.
