I'm grateful for unpredictable weather.
Yesterday, we went down the coast to Manhattan beach. It's been unseasonably warm, even at the ocean it was at least 80 degrees. We read at a little grassy park overlooking the beach, and then walked the Strand and marveled at every shape, size and color of dogs and people out and about -- biking, rollerblading, beach volleyballing, surfing, swimming, eating ice cream, snapping pictures. It really felt like July in the middle of March. We had a happy hour beer at an Irish bar, and then treated ourselves to a do-it-yourself-fro-yo. I got Red Velvet, mmm. Is anything better?!
Then we walked on the pier and saw a school of dolphins waving hello. It was a perfect way to spend an afternoon, and I'm getting excited for sundresses and picnics and the Hollywood Bowl and Shakespeare in the park, and all things summer! Although I don't want it to come TOO fast...as that day happens to coincide with me getting one year older :( :)
