Fall has definitely arrived, even though we never really had a summer. Big Sur Valley, Clear Ridge, and town all reported light rain this morning, and I woke to the inside of a cloud, up here.

There is drip under the trees, but no real rain at my location, although in Big Sur Valley one could hear the rain on the roof. Temperature is 56 degrees currently. At least we’re not in Texas, where reports from friends indicate hurricane conditions, or Colorado where a wildfire is ripping through homes.

My, it sure does seem peaceful up here!

12:30 pm Reports of significant rain in some Big Sur locations this afternoon. Here, it got a tad brighter and for a while, I thought the sun was going to come out. Not so.

  • it's been so foggy here ner Santa Maria(sun never came out yesterday) that I got our my boiled wool sweaters and cleaned the furnace filter. May have to run it tonight. John Lindsay from PG&E @ Avila Beach says it will warm up a little toward the weekend. It never broke 60 here yesterday. No 'rain' though it looked like it would. b-r-r-r.

  • "I woke to the inside of a cloud". I stopped at that, wondering how beautifully serene that sounded, being hugged by a cloud.
