What a beautiful day! Bright sunshine, blue skies, and warmer temperatures for a change of pace. I haven’t been here much until now. We took an early 6 mile walk this morning. Not long after, hubs suggested a drive to nowhere in the convertible. We put the top down, but still needed the heat and heated seats on. And just recently, we took a walk in our neighborhood. I was too warm in a light jacket. Oh, how I love these sunny and warmer days!!!

That sounds like fun. I love such weather. Bright sunshine, clear sky but not too warm. Hope it stays for long and you enjoy it fully

Thanks! We are going to have a warm spell, but March can be brutal here with snow, wind, and cold. In the meantime, I plan on enjoying the great outdoors as much as possible.

That is great. I remember weeks of gray, depressing gloom when the sun did not shine in the winter. It is sunny here in Florida but the wind is quite strong today and it seems to be getting cooler.

@DianneN I take it that you live in the northeast. Which sunshine state will you return to, there are several. Florida, New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona claim to be sunshine states.

@akalinus I am in Connecticut. Florida is now our residence for 6 months and a day. We cut it short and left in May due to the pandemic. We are in South Florida. Where are you?

Yes, there has been plenty of depressing gloom here this winter. Hopefully, we will return to the Sunshine state next December. March winds at their finest!

Ohhhhh, so that's where our sun went today! We are gray, cold and it's supposed to rain anytime now (well let's see if it's "real" rain, not much is expected according to the news). I'm glad you're having such a sunny day - I know you love your sun and warmth!!

A good, warm feel the sun is for you folks who just 'came in from the cold'. (just wanted to use the idiom, I know it is not actually correct) That must have been a good six-mile walk. Keep the sun shining.

My dad got a job at the Miami News when I was two. I did not want to leave Pennsylvania, and hated the heat, humidity, grasshoppers, lizard, palmetto bugs, etc. Two years later, my parents divorce, and Mom took us back up to Pennsylvania.

Bright and sunny here! We need it to dry out (lots of flooding going on after the rain and the accompanying snow melt).

I hope that helps dry out the flooding. We still have Mt. Vesuvius at the end of our driveway from the plow, and a few patches of snow here and there from drifts. But, March isn’t over, yet!

We actually have sun too which is a change. Up until late last night they said we would have rain today. It stayed just below us. Sorry for them. Glad you got your walk in and a drive to nowhere. Those are the fun drives to take.

@DianneN It would be good if it rained today, however. I saw on the news a few mornings ago that we've gotten 60% less rainfall than we usually get this time of the year, so we're still technically in drought conditions.

It is cold here. I had a convertible a 56 Chevy and sold it before we moved for $60,000 it won first price in a lot of car shows. My parents took it on the route 66 trail every year with the other old cars. I did not want to move it so I sold it to a collector. I miss driving around in that car with the top down.

What a car that is! I see them in car shows all the time. My son has a collector’s car - a Supra. He’s won prizes in car shows and will never sell it. There’s nothing like a convertible on nice days. Perhaps you can get one.

Lately, I have needed a light sweater when going out for a walk. My leather coat is thick and makes me sweat - wearing me our faster. But, my friend still feels a need to bundle up. That may just be our sixteen years of age difference. Or, it may be because my DNA is mostly Northern European, and his is further south (Italy, Greece, Albania...). But, he has a hard time accepting that I am not cold.
