sweaters are always on my mind

The Bay Area has warm weather in late summer and now as the temps are finally above 70° I find myself looking to the next season. Fall layers are so enticing and I have been having fun searching for things like cashmere cardigans, fleece lined hoodies and wool sweaters with elbow patches. I have favorite lists of items on a couple second hand clothing sites. But if I am being honest, sweaters are always on my mind. 🙂

This sweater is new, from Toast.

We enjoyed the last concert in the park.

Continuing night walks with Emma during the long summer nights.

I was given my father’s wedding ring and I got it sized to fit me. ❤️ Emma likes to wear it around the house.

Back to Canyon School!

Walked around the Berkeley Marina.

A great spot to view San Francisco across the Bay!

New haircut. I am getting used to having short hair again. 🙂
