One Season In My City

It is January in San Francisco. Usually a miserable time with much rain and freezing wind and very little sunlight.

Not this year. Zero rain. Zero wind. Zero fog. A whole lotta sunshine. In fact, more sunshine than we usually get all summer! It is freaking me out a little bit. I think I have to get used to it though.

And this year, I am wearing SEERSUCKER! In the winter!! And it was too warm! This is just not right. The trees in front of my home have not been able to turn and drop their leaves. There were mosquitoes in my bedroom 3 nights in a row.

OK. Everyone. Drive a whole lot less and ride a whole lot more 'cause I want my winter back!

For those of you out there who are reading this from the snow bound regions, I am truly sorry. It is January and by all measures I should be cold and miserable and battling mold in my window sills. Fact is, this is how I dressed to run errands around town this week-

A little mid-winter Vitamin D is good for the soul. And if this post makes you green with envy, despair not as Summer will soon be here and I will be dressed as I was last year for the first day of the "warm" season-
