Touring the best of Britain
I've always wanted to visit England and Scotland. Half of my ancestors came from the United Kingdom.
Take a deep breath, October is here
I had a wonderful trip to England and Scotland. We had amazing weather and saw so many fabulous sights. The food was much better than I expected! However, I am very happy to be back in the Santa Clarita Valley, triple-digit temperatures and all! I am very pleased that winter is on its way. Perhaps we can have some "pleasant" (cooler) weather here, too!

Get your SCV ‘boo’ on in October
My favorite month of the year is nearly here! I love October. It means that summer is almost over in the Santa Clarita Valley. I do believe that August, September and October are the hottest months of the year in the SCV. Come Nov. 1, we'll finally cool down. So Oct. 1 means only 31 more days of wretched heat, I hope!

Labor Day: The end of our SCV summer
Don't you love three day weekends? Labor Day is always considered the unofficial end of summer. Are you hosting one last pool party? Having a barbecue? Traveling this weekend out of town? Whatever your plans, enjoy! It would be nice if the weather cooperates and we get some cooling temperatures! Of course, summer temperatures usually continue to hang around the Santa Clarita Valley through the end of October.
