Summer is definitely gone. I have been too busy to enjoy Fall this year and it is slipping away. This morning, we had our first below-freezing temperatures. On the way to work, there were some snow flurries, too. The snow wasn’t sticking around as the ground is still warm. After watching the weather forecast, I brought in my chaapha (Plumeria) and chameli (Jasmine ?!?). They would have suffered through the cold night. This cold wave is here to stay through the weekend.

After reading about it in draupadi’s journal and getting a glowing endorsement by a friend that we visited in NJ, we started a week-long fruit/veggie detox diet. Yesterday was all-fruit day and today is all-veggie day. Let’s see how it works out for the whole week.
