Walks on the Beach

Today, like a lot of days I went on a walk with Mike and we had a wonderful conversation. People don't realize how easy it is to just make time to spend with your loved ones and doesn't have to cost anything. Good views, talking about life, while living a good life. 

The day was overcast, with a breezy fog. It was so refreshing and the air was very pleasant. I like the smell of rain/ freshly wet dirt and it is exactly how it smelled. It reminded me of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Being a California girl is such a blessing. We have beach everywhere and I am very fortunate to always have lived near the towns where the beach is near. My personal favorite though has to be San Diego. It is warm and beautiful there. Everything is beautiful and the people are wonderful. I miss it so much.

 

I will give credit to the beach here because I do like that the beach here provides more wildlife activity because I am into observing nature. I like to just sit at the beach and watch the sea lions, and other animals near by do their thing in the water. I have respect for them because, well I am just too chicken to go do what they do. Unless I am on a boat I won't really go too far in the ocean. The water is pretty cold up here and sometimes because of the over cast, the water can look quite dark. SCARY! 

Don't forget to appreciate nature, Fendora.

Better Weather?

When the weather is just no "bueno".

So, I was hoping that the weather would get nicer and sunnier, but guess what? There is more wind and cold my way. 

Living in California is a wonderful thing. I am happy that I can live here and be right on the beach, 10 minutes from the forest, and 15 from the river. I am truly blessed for that, but it is constantly chilly and it makes it hard for me to go out and enjoy nature. If it's green everywhere it is because it is wet outside (not to mention really cold).  We have London-like weather here, so yes...IT RAINS A LOT! Don't get me wrong. I like the rain. Love it, but not in a small town in the middle of a forest. Feeling like Belle from beauty and the beast, minus the royal treatment and ease of access to shopping. 

I am a southern California girl, I like the warmth. Wearing shorts, and tank tops and sandals are great! I love dresses and skirts because I am a girly girl, but it is blowing up like crazy outside just when I was getting my hopes up for nicer weather. 

For right now I will just stick to my comfy sweaters, and leggings. Workouts are pretty relaxing out doors, but today with such gusty winds, I will be doing an indoor workout with the hubby in the living room. Getting the cardio going...Aerobics time. OH YEAH! Gotta look into what playlist to blast while we jump around like human-bunnies. 

I have some things to do and so after my workout, it will be time to get going with the day, and cross off some to-dos. For now I guess I will leave it at this. But I guess what I want to say is, no matter the weather, and limitations, make time to be active in what ever way you can. Indoors or out, your body needs to detox by sweating naturally. It is how mother nature made us. 

Time to feel cozy. Fendora

Spring!

 It's spring time... officially! How exciting! 

Flowers everywhere are blossoming. 

In my usual walk on the beach I am noticing all kinds of critters taking in the sun light and warmth. 

Sea lions are happily barking and basking in the sun. Seagulls and crows alike flying through the coast with the immense abundance of food everywhere. Happy times for everyone and you can feel it in the air. 

Even the surfers were out and about in groups. It is the California life! 

Time to bust out with some colorful clothes, new nail polish colors and everything! 

Who says I have to keep wearing dull colors? 

 It is one of the rare times you will see me with so many colors at once. I like to be monochromatic, but it is spring!! Time to get living!

Make sure you carry your allergy medicine. Fendora
