SPRINGTIME IN SAN DIEGO!!


THE CARLSBAD RANNUCULA FLOWER FIELDS ARE A WELCOME SIGN THAT SPRING HAS ARRIVED HERE IN SAN DIEGO. MOTHER NATURE PLAYED A TRICK ON US THIS WEEKEND. WE HAD TEMPERATURES IN THE 90'S. I WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE AND EVERYONE WAS IN SHORTS AND BATHING SUITS. WELL, NOT EVERYONE. MY 50 SOMETHING BODY WORE CAPRIS AND A T-SHIRT. WHEN SUMMER ARRIVES BEFORE SPRING LOCALS AND VISITORS ALIKE GET A LITTLE EXCITED. PEOPLE GO DOWN TO THE BEACH, GRAP BEACH BLANKETS,UMBRELLAS, AND COOL DRINKS. THE KIDS JUMP IN THE OCEAN, WHICH RIGHT NOW IS ONLY ABOUT 59 DEGREES. AHHHHH! BUT THAT WILL CHANGE, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT NORMAL....WE WILL GO BACK TO TEMPERATURES IN THE HIGH 60'S AND LOW 70S. THEN JUNE WILL ARRIVE AND WE WILL EXPERIENCE "JUNE GLOOM" AT THE COAST. CLOUDY DAYS FOR A FEW WEEKS, AND WE SUFFER.. THEN SUMMER FINALLY ARRIVES. ...REALLY, I AM NOT COMPLAINING.....EITHER WAY, ITS STILL GREAT TO LIVE HERE IN SAN DIEGO..
