We like to hike.
Today we hiked around Topanga Canyon.

I Miss West Virginia
No, I'm not Miss West Virginia. I miss West Virginia. When fall comes around I miss it even more, but I always miss the mountains. Sure southern California has mountains, but they're big and brown and prickly and thirsty looking. And prone to catching on fire. I miss lush green Appalacian mountains
and the crazy colors they turn in the fall.
Sage gathered up all the leaves (that fell from our neighbor's tree) in our backyard and raked them into a pile. He was so excited to jump in it and make "leaf angels"
but these were dusty little leaves with prickly parts and it wasn't as much fun as he dreamed it would be. We were picking pricklies out of him for hours. I miss big bright leaves like these:
Those were some of my students when we went trick-or-treating for Unicef. We don't see trees like those around here.
We try to enjoy the nature and landscape around us as much as we can though. Remember when I blogged about visiting the pumpkin patch in Saugus a few weeks ago? Half of it burned down. So sad.
Today we took Kali to Runyon Canyon, or as Sage calls it, Dog Mountain.
Yeah, it's all beautiful in it's own way, but I still miss West Virginia.

This weekend, no sewing. Snowing!
It's hard to believe that two hours away from sunny L.A. there's snow, but there is. See?
This Saturday we loaded up the car and drove up, up, up the San Bernardino Mountains to Big Bear, CA. We stayed at the Grey Squirrel Cabins, a little cabin community we found by accident/luck two years ago on our last visit.
Sunday morning we woke up to snow! While it pales in comparison to the amount of snow Erik and I grew up with in West Virginia winters when we were kids, Sage and Kali enjoyed it nonetheless.
After a hearty breakfast at Boo Bear's Den and some stops at a few shops for things like mittens and scarves, we hiked up (and down, and up, and down) the Woodland Trail.
And in less than 24 hours from the time we left North Hollywood, we were back home.
