Fall

[Mach123]

It was HOT lol. 67 degrees, real windy SW gusting to 30 mph. Summer wind. We walked an extra mile or two. Short sleeves carried my jackets. I never can judge too well how to dress. The weather here and at the beach even though it’s only about 2 blocks is way different. It’s going to be in the thirties tomorrow. The beach was crowded, Lots if people, way too many dogs. Mostly on the leash but never enough compliance . I’d call the police if I thought it would do any good.The first few pics showing lots of rocks is the far northern end of the beach. The camera doesn’t get how different it is. Very narrow steep and rocky. We walked down as far as where we used to live.

SPRING

We made a jump from 2.5 to 4 miles. It's slow, 31 minutes per mi. I get a little tired . Partly because it was cold, wind chill in the twenties. There were a lot of people around. I did more gardening. I dug up some bulbs and moved them. It's right up against her fence so I talked to the neighbor lady across the fence. I don't talk about myself much. I just try and say friendly stuff and not say to much. They are a young family, couple kids. Young teens. The kids are out of school.

So thats's spring stuff, here come the flowers and the neighbors. Is everybody ok meaning, no virus. So far everyone is ok.

One hour today which was our regular walk about 2.5 mi. It started snowing just as we came off the back. It was cold . This is what we call a south as opposed to North Easter. That usually means rain. Almost Always better than snow : ). The beach is patterns,. It's like a giant mandelbrot set.

Today was warmer we walked 4.5 mi. I was dragging a lite the last 20 minutes. The beach was beautiful.

Cold the last couple days, today was pretty serious, wind chill in the thirties. I couldn't have used long johns . It's difficult to get it exactly right. The weather at my house and on the beach can be different by about 30 degrees F,
and a breeze turns to half a gale of wind

It was.cold yesterday. I was very warmly dressed and had to.do a lot of heat venting. We did about 4.5 miles and the last part was very Rocky and difficult. We were at it about 2.5 hrs. My coat is full legnth hooded down with 2 way zipper so it's a sleeping bag that zips from just above the knee to my neck. Full legnth is mid calf.

I even brought my south American mountain hat (Andes think llamas). It was freezing going back with about 15-20 mph winds out of the North. Coming back up directly into that is cold. Wind chills in the thirties. I zip and unzip because the polyester is hot so I'm continually adjusting the airflow and hats hoods to deal with heat from exertion. We walked the street the last part. Walking the beach is much more difficult.

Long johns, top and bottom, hooded sweatshirt, poly fleece vest, scarf, poly fleece mittens and Army boots.

I didn't take the camera yesterday it was raining. We got wet not soaked. Now we are having a blow, it's rainy and stormy. A real gale of wind. It's suppose to rain hard all.day.
Here are a couple random pics, maybe the rain will taper off this afternoon/evening.
