70

 I know my friends in the north who are inundated with snow and bitter cold at the moment won't appreciate this but it was 70 degrees here today. We went for a walk on the boardwalk and I was hot and couldn't wait to get home.



I should have dressed like all the folks that were taking advantage of the beach.  I wasn't dressed for winter but my long sleeved tee shirt and jeans were too much under that bright sun. I had to take my wool socks off and leave them in the car.



Ahhhhh.....that's better. The cool sand felt wonderful and the water was chilly but not as chilly as I had expected. This kind of warm weather in the middle of winter usually means we have a blizzard on the way in the next week or so. We'll see.

  1. WOW! I would take it. I would definitely take it. We had 12 inches of snow in the last 24 hours with more to come and frigid temperatures expected this week. Can I come visit you? lol . Enjoy it while you can.
    Blessings,

  3. It was a nice little reprieve from the cold, but it sure did usher in some windy weather up this way.

  7. What a wonderful treat to have a beach day in January without wearing a jacket. It has been unseasonably warm here (70s also) but we have had quite a bit of rain. Unfortunately, with the warm days and moderate nights, the bugs are coming out.

  8. The weekend was beautiful here as well - it was a wonderful time to open up the house and air it out! Walking on the beach must have been great!

  9. What a nice day you had! I am totally jealous as we are probably 5 months away from 70 degrees:)
