Today's Forecast

The weather here can be fairly predictable. In the summer..hot, hotter and  "drop dead get me out of here". A common conversation for those of us leaving for the summer is how we want to beat the heat and so on. Now the winter is a different story.  70s and 80s are the temps of the season.  Really beautiful.  We head to the beach. We walk to the park. The whole population moves outside.  Even so, because there is little change, well, it gets kind of boring. :)  I mean, how sad is it when you hear a kid say, "Hey look, mom, clouds!!" Although, the truth is, the adults may say it more than the kids. And on the four days it rains...well, hang on. Like the flood pictures I posted a couple of entries ago, it was exciting.
Today, I joined my friend Kara on the Corniche to walk.  Several days a week there are a few of us moms who are walking along the newly renovated beach boardwalk.  It's been so nice. But today, there was FOG!  It was a fun change.  Kara moved here in September so everything is still new to her.  She mentioned how it felt so sticky and all. I just smiled and said, " Ënjoy the change."   I tried to take a pictue with my phone. Not sure it gives the full effect but you get the idea. :)
