Seven Little Things About October a writing exercise
1. The hot, blistering, heat of summer in Southern Baja is over
2. The threat of hurricanes in Southern Baja is over
3. It is still warm enoiugh to swim (in Southern Baja)
4. Preparations for Day of the Dead begin, pan de muerte ( sweet bread adroned with “bones” of the dead, mock graves, flowers, corn and cafe de olla)
5. Pumpkin soup simmering on the stove…rich, creamy, like liquid pumpkin pie
6. Crisp, salty, air, the shore birds return and call and squawk at dawn.
7. The subtle change of life’s ryhtym leading to the end of the year, we even feel it in paradise!
I thought I was going to write about going to pumpkin patches with Miss Meliss and letting her choose a big pumpkin.
Buying Indian corn and deciding on her costume, alwayas home made, and always really good.
Well I guess I just did.

I am in Texas and love vacationing in the Baja area. Now that my mortgage is paid off I would love to travel even more and perhaps buy that little winter vacation home or land we’ve always dreamed of. Enjoy the weather. I’m so jealous!
