Weather Report

Today has been one of the coldest days in San Francisco for some time. A cold front came through and dropped the temperature around 10 degrees.

Winter in May!

Where'd Summer Go??

Cool breeze this morning!! Hot summer just doesn't stay long in San Francisco.

The other day, my friend told me she was ready to shop for sundresses for her trip to Europe. Not San Francisco, for sure! Sundresses are not for SF!

My husband says, "You can always tell who the tourists are in San Francisco. They wear t-shirts and shorts thinking that SF is in California so it is hot. Then they go to Fisherman's wharf and come out wearing their newly-bought jogging suits or jackets."

First Day of Summer!

Clearly, it is the first day! Temperatures in the 70s, 80s even up to 100s inland, it's also Spare the Air Day!

Went to the gym to do yoga after so long. Been so stiff, glad I went. Now I feel more awake and aware inside and out.

Yea, great way to start summer!

Another Gorgeous Day!

I know. This is 2, even 3 in a row! But as I said, you can count the days in SF as splendid as these so it's worth blogging about! In my old old age, 400 years from now, when I look back to my blog, I can say, "Aah, that was May of 2011 when we had 3 straight warm, sunny, drop-dead gorgeous days in San Francisco!"

Gorgeous Day!

It's so rare for San Francisco to get this splendidly warm! Welcome, Sun!

Winter Storms Out!

It's freeeeeeeezing cold!!

That Feeling of Warmth Again!

What a feeling! You can count the days in San Francisco when the weather is not just sunny but delightfully, incredibly WARM!! This is one of those days. I have a gig today but forget it for now. I'm gonna enjoy the sun at my deck with hot chocolate, a toast and strawberries!

Who was that who said that the coldest winter he had ever experienced was a summer in San Francisco - Mark Twain? Not today, my friend. It's gorgeous!!

Come, join me...

WARMTH

Lately, I've been seeing this word, warmth, everywhere, on billboards, buses, ads - Everywhere! Or feeling the sensation. On these cold chilly San Francisco nights, warmth, in any context, is most welcome.

What A Gorgeous Day!

Sunshine, no wind! Just pleasantly warm, through and through - love it!

Labor Day Monday

Too beautiful a day not to go out today, especially in San Francisco where it's usually cold in the summer! I was doing tai-chi at the deck when the splendid sun hit me perfect I wasted no time in going out. I went to the park, walked around, sat down, watched the bay, enjoyed the sun - aah, life's beautiful!

News of the Day

A Round Up of the Day's Events -

• Heat Warning in the East Coast with 3-digit Temperatures and High Humidity
  
• Thunderstorm in Washington
  
• San Francisco is Colder than Alaska Today?!
  
• Gulf Oil Spill Far from Over, Way Far from What Government is Saying
  
• Unemployment Still High - 

In Russell, Georgia, a church opened its doors for networking for the unemployed and has helped many people who have lost their jobs and find it hard to find work, who've lost hope or losing it. It's like a spiritual networking, people say, where they are realizing they're not alone. And volunteers come to help and without even having to say, "I'm here", their presence are felt and appreciated. It's like "loving your neighbor." 

"It's genuine love. It's loving somebody you don't know."

And you see quite a few on their knees in prayer for strength, hope and thanks. 

Inspiring story!
