Coming back to Southern California

L and I were discussing the other day that despite our desire to see the world and whatnot, we would like to eventually come back to southern California for its beautiful weather. For the house we want in the future and things we'd like to plant, California is awesome. Where else can we plant mangoes, citrus, avocado, peaches, roses, etc. etc.? We really don't have to worry about harsh winters here. I'm glad in a way that my winter clothes consists of a coat, a scarf, and a sweatshirt (this coming from a person who hates being cold). Not heavy duty long underwear or down coat, or whatever people wear in seriously cold weathers. It's nice to walk outside and look at the sun and blue sky and feel warm enough to take off a layer and end up in T-shirt and jeans.
