INDIAN SUMMER

San Francisco is normally windy, foggy and cold during the summer months. In September and much of October, it is blessed with an Indian Summer. People drive around town in convertibles with tops down honking horns in celebration of this late summer weather. This September it is unusually warm. Temperatures are in the high 80’s and the light breezes infuse the air in many residential areas with the fragrances of orange blossoms, roses and pine. In very brown, but still beautiful Marin County across the Golden Gate Bridge, it is even warmer. Temperatures reached 105 degrees and people joyfully flocked to the beaches over Labor Day week-end.

CON MI NIETA EN LA PLAYA DE BOLINAS, CALIFORNIA

The water temperature at Stinson and Bolinas beaches was a pleasantly invigorating 65 degrees, warm enough to do a leisurely swim across the channel and back. The sleek, wet heads of three seals were not far from us as they headed for the quiet lagoon. Current water temperature in the Bay of Banderas (Puerto Vallarta) is 85 degrees, which doesn’t give much relief from the heat and humidity this month.

Six emaciated puppies were with the mama dog, who had been unable to successfully nurse them because she was so anemic. Meg took them all home with her. The family is now healthy, spayed and neutered and Meg has adopted the mama and named her “Cleo.” Meg has generously offered to pay expenses for puppies to go to the U.S. if no homes found for them here. Please contact her if interested. [email protected]
