I tell you, since sunlight has once again become transformed from merciless enemy into the most charming and distracting friend, I can’t sit at my desk for more than five minutes without jumping up to watch it play on leaves, spines or thorns. And then I have to play, too, digging up this, moving that, any excuse to bathe in autumn sun.

And just when I think I’ve seen everything autumn light has to offer and can finally end this protracted truancy from the indoors, we get a lovely rainstorm, nearly a whole day’s worth.
\nAnd you know<\/em> what havoc raindrops and light can play with one’s attention span.<\/p>\n

The ‘Cyclops’ aeonium, shaggy in the recent rain.
\nPotted aeoniums are being pulled out of the shade. They also love to bask in autumn sun.<\/p>\n

I had a Halloween post planned on one of my favorite movies from 2014. Maybe I’ll get to it later today.
\nI have to admit I was a little shocked at the intense Halloween celebrations this year, with many fellow Metro riders decked out in costume and makeup.
\n(Halloween is a holiday that really suits LA’s Metro, the one day when all the craziness actually seems appropriate.)
\nIn contrast, our tepid festivities at home included an X-Files rerun marathon, house dark, gates locked, not even a pumpkin on the porch — yes, we’re that<\/em> house on the block.
\nHope by now you’ve scrubbed off the makeup, cleared up the candy wrappers, and are having a wonderful Sunday under this splendid autumn sun.<\/p>\n
