Indian Summer

My favourite time of year is suddenly here. It's the time of year where temperatures soar, tomatoes are ripe, pumpkins are being planted, flowers smell sweet and warm, and friends stay out in the park until midnight soaking up the warm air and cool breeze over cold beers and ice cream. It's finally summer in Northern California, and though it comes a little late, its well worth its wait. Indian Summer is the most beautiful time of the year on the West Coast. I'm happy to be outdoors, I'm happy to be barefoot, and I am happy for the changing of the seasons.
