What a beautiful day, today turned out to be.

It started out with a small thunderstorm. I believe it was the first of the season.

It only rained a little bit. Much to the dismay of the firefighters who are struggling to put out the forest fires in our area.

Hubby and I went shopping. It was almost 80', so I went without a jacket for the first time this season. It felt so good. For a moment I thought I was in Florida. I didn't see any palm trees so I knew it was only wishful thinking.

People seemed to be in a good mood, not all cranked up and grouchy. Nice weather will do that to you.

I'll enjoy it while it's here. In a day or two we'll be back to seasonal temps in the 60's. Which when I think about it is okay too. After all it won't be sub-freezing with snow.

Maybe tomorrow I'll venture outside to clean out some winter debris from my flower beds.

I'll do some writing in the evening. That way I'll have the best of both worlds.
