The changing of the season paid no mind that it was 96 degrees when it made it's debut. In fact, I didn't even know when the 1st day of Fall was, but ironically while Barry & I had our breakfast I could almost smell something different in the air - something that spoke of the few pine trees that still dot this valley. A few years back construction went crazy building more houses than occupants and many of our tree filled lots disappeared - some hills were leveled. With them some of our beautiful old, traditional Pine and Eucalyptus trees fell to the ground & became someones firewood.

While out shopping, I stopped at Cardenas Markets for their rock-bottom prices on some of their produce (last month I snagged yellow onions for .10c a pound). While stocking up on their sale items I saw a mexican squash that resembled a pumpkin. I paid $5.00 for it.

| Calabaza (a mexican squash). Still don't know what I'm going to do with it, but for now, unopened, it's my most expensive Fall decoration |
Hope you find a lot of sales this fall season... hope you pick a lot of pine-cones... hope you have a fun Halloween... hope you find 31 ways to save money!!!
See you soon,
Nancy
