Fall is Here 
 
 

It always seems like fall takes forever to come to San Diego. We tend to have some of our warmest days in September and the evenings are stilled filled with sun. As we begin getting cooler daytime highs, chilly evenings, and even the occasional cloudy morning it is lovely to see the changes happening around us. Kindergartners across the region are taking nature walks at school, looking for changes in the trees on their campus. Take a page out of their science notebooks and enjoy the signs of fall wherever you can find them!
