Trimmings

The unusual cold snap infused my week with holiday spirit.  Layering sweaters and cranking up the heat at dawn made it undeniably winter.  The annual trombone gathering in the canyon tonight was the perfect excuse for a dinner party and tree trimming.  The mild evening lent itself to open  doors and a fire.  It's incredibly cliche but the weather in Los Angeles is spectacular.  The subtle changes are  noticeable and welcome.  I never take it for granted, this beautiful, arid landscape.  Love that I experienced the east coast as a kid, but forever grateful I have spent my adult years on this coast.
