MAY GLOOM...

splendid succulent of Santa Monica

MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE 

if you live along the coast

of California...

:: the water will be WARM enough to take a dip

without wearing a WETSUIT ::

:: the SUN always SHINES at the beach

with the temperature being pleasantly WARM ::

Some of JPE's family from OHIO

are coming for a visit

the first week of JUNE...

I better tell them

our JUNE GLOOM**

has arrived!

{I know, it's only MAY}

** June Gloom is a California term for the weather pattern

that results in cloudy, overcast skies with cool temperatures

during the late spring & early summer. 

Note to: GARY & JOSH

bring a sweatshirt & a pair of jeans 

for those damp, foggy mornings.

PSST... the fog burns off about

lunchtime & returns about 2:30...

AND... if we really want WARM weather,

we can drive two miles inland...

the SUN will be SHINING there!

{odd, huh?}

What unusual weather patterns

would I find in your 

neighborhood?
