October! A month that begins looking a lot like summer and usually ends looking a bit like winter. October in west Sonoma County usually sees rain at some point so by the end of the month its not uncommon to see some green grass around the jack-o-lantern. The nights are longer than the days so its time to build a fire or turn on the furnace to stay warm. Hiking is great later in the month after a rain settles down the dust and firms up the trails. On my "local attractions" page, click on Occidental and scroll down to the bottom of the page. That pic of Occidental screams October and says more that I can depict by writing. Bottom line....just another fabulous month! I will be up there doing some projects mid month and will try to fit in a mountain bike ride every day. Little cold in the morning but by noon its all good. If there is one thing I don't like about October......not long enough.
Update 9/22/14: Forecast calls for rain on 9/24 so green grass for sure in October.

October 11. Occidental Center for the Arts: Janam: "Janam ( My Soul) blends Balkan,Near Eastern and American roots and original music, creating rapturous acoustic textures, whirling rhythmns and stunning vocal harmonies." Oh, and don't forget...chicken parmesan outdoors at the Union Hotel before the concert.
October 19th: Occidental Center for the Arts: New West Guitar Group. "New West Guitar Group, a trio of gifted young guitarists based in Los Angeles, is touring to promote their fifth studio release Big City." The only other guitar trio I have seen are called California Guitar Trio and they used a sound processor to turn their guitars into basses, electric, 12 strings, dobros, etc. I wonder if this group does that? Go and find out!
Hopmonk Tavern Sebastopol: Check out their October lineup.
Freestone October 12th: Joseph Phelps winery/tasting room. Pair up a new release wine with some tasty food. Any excuse to go to Freestone is a good one!
The Barlow Street Fair: Every Thursday evening in Sebastopol. Sounds like fun!
Bodega Bay Farmers Market: Every Sunday until the end of October. Incorporate this into my "drive a loop" outing on my "things to do" page.
Lynmar Winery; Graton. Look at the pictures...go there.
Will continue to scope it out!
