It's October

I have to say that I think October is my least favorite month of the year. Why? Well, every single year at this time I get sick! First of all living in southern California is suppose to be so wonderful, however, it is entirely tooooo dry here! We need rain so badly! This time of year we get what they call santa anas........warm, hot, dry, dusty, windy....... all adds up to fire danger. It all also seems to aggravate our sinuses so badly that everyone gets sore throats, swollen glands, headaches. We're all just a bunch of sick grouches! Guess that's fitting for our Halloween costumes!
