Last Weekend of Summer


This is the last "offical" weekend of summer. The Autumnal Equinox is on Wednesday next week (22nd) We traditionally think of the end of summer as Labor Day but it truly is not over yet. This has been a very unusual summer climate wise here in California. I am not complaining but it has been at least 20 degrees below normal and that is a considerable amount. In fact they are predicting rain this weekend. It has been very mild and I actually have liked it. I much prefer upper 70s to upper 90s. It will be interesting to see what fall/winter bring us weather wise.

I don't have any big plans for the weekend. Zumba tomorrow a.m. and I would like to do some painting on the bowls. I have never painted one with a rim so I was trying to figure out how I am going to handle it and I decided to bring the green up to where the bowl dips. That way when you look at it you will be able to see the skin and the inside from the top. I will take pictures of the various stages. Sunday Dave does not have any games so we have the day to hang. I am really wanting to go to the coast so maybe we can do that. We shall see. Until next time...

  4. What...it never rains in California. (sorry, I couldn't resist). The weather has definitely been kind of weird this year. I can't wait to see all the Fall colours - so pretty. Enjoy your Zumba and your weekend.

  7. Beautiful picture! I know I for one am sooooo ready for summer to end. I live in the south, so we have summer eight months out of the year. I want cooler weather! :)
