Baby it's cold outside

It was hot and humid here as well until the rain started. I left right after the rain started.

It is sooo hot outside.  92 degrees.  We went to Home Depot this afternoon.  I want a butterfly garden.  I got a firebush plant, lantana (starts out yellow and also has light pink and then red) 2 pentas for the garden.  I needed another caladium for the front and some coleus.  We are going to wait until about 7 tonight to see if we can start making a bed without wilting too bad.  I still can't get in the pool yet because my new nipples aren't healed yet.  I may have to break that rule tonight.

It was so foggy yesterday it was like a misty rain. This coastal living is driving me nuts! The hubby and I took a ride on his bike yesterday and we had to bundle up to stay warm and dry. We came home and built a fire. And it's summer time???

I broke down and went all the way in the pool today.  I want the DH to start working on my butterfuly garden tonight and I know we needed to cool off.  High 90 today.  It is 88 right now @ 7:30 pm. Little bit of rain.

Dear Mary, Meece and Sheila,

Please, Please, Please, send me some warmth, PLEASE.  I'm freaking freezing (scuse the language)!  It was a balmy 45 this morning, I did the automatic starter on the car and blasted the heat again on the way to work.

Edited to add - Smithlme - can I please share your electric blanket?

There is hope beginning tomorrow - it's supposed to be in the low 70s tomorrow.

BTW - one year ago today I had the surgery to place my chemo port and it was my 49th birthday, it was not a good day.  I had doubts between my Lupus and the Breast Cancer that I would make it to 50 but today I made it to 50!  YEAH.  Here's to all of us toasting each other for 50 more years (raise your virtual glass of wine or beverage of choice - Cheers).

Happy healthy birthday Suzette! I was thrilled when I hit 50 and even more thrilled when I hit 51 in May. I'll take every birthday I can get!

And today we have....fog...

Happy Birthday Suzette and many many more.  I've made it to 56 and find it more liberating every year.  What I spent a good deal of my life worrying about means nothing now.  It is very freeing.

Will think and send all the heat you can imagine.  It is sooooo hot.  Last night @7:45 pm we did 30 minutes of work on my new garden and had to stop.  It is just too hot.  No rain in sight for a few days.

I don't like to think of age as a number but rather an experience. The older you are the more things and places you get to experience. My older sister is hiding her age and I help her once a month cover up the evidence (grey hair). I, on the other hand, am letting my grey hair shine in all it's glory. I have had people compliment me on my highlites, they don't show in this picture, but get a bright light on the top of my hair and you can really see the silver.

Shelia, I did go completly gray when it grew back in, but I just felt old.  Good for you for keeping it.  I caved in and colored it again, I have no regrets.  Swam in the pool to cool off when we got home.  91 degress right now @ 7:15pm.  Need to water plants later.

I am getting my grey early genetically, my great-grandfather was completly grey/silver in his 20's but his wife had a head of dark brown hair with just a touch of grey/silver framing her face when she passed at age 86 and as long as I can remember my grandmother had grey hair. My mother dyed her hair until I was in high school and she stopped when her beautician said that mom's grey looked like a good highlite job. That is what people say about my hair. I found silver in my hair in my early teens. Although several years ago, just after getting my hair done, my hubby asked me if I had it colored as well, I slapped him thinking he was making fun of my silver but he really thought I had it professionally colored/foiled.

back to the weather, at 10:00 pm we are at 70 degrees.

Just got back from the gym and it's 58. I can hear the whistle buoy down in the harbor...

I may be in California but I live along the North Coast. Even the whales swim north to Alaska to get warm! I can drive an hour inland and be in the warmer weather. This morning it's raining. I hope it stops so I can go walk along the beach.
