Snow to Summer in One Week!

This is March in Carolina where you can go from heat to air conditioning in the same day! We went from snow on Monday to the beach on Friday with spring-like weather to boot! Last Monday we had 4 inches of snow and it got down to 12 that night barely getting out of the 30's during the day. Each day and night was a bit warmer so I joined Amanda and Zack at our beach house for the weekend. It wasn't as warm as it was in Pittsboro, but we had temps in the low sixties on Saturday and high sixties on Sunday and plenty o'sunshine! That ocean breeze across the 56 degree water was chilled by comparison to inland's highs of 70's and low 80's.

We walked and ran and dipped our toes in the surf and then plopped in the chairs in only t-shirts and shorts! We washed the dog and both cars, fixed flats on the golf cart and charged it up real well, got haircuts and color, ate seafood and ice cream, visited with friends and cleaned out the closet under the stairs! I even had a glass of wine and a raspberry-chocolate martini! YUMMY!

Gotta get the Collins' condo all spiffed up for summer! I really hated leaving today, but it was a little easier knowing I'll be going right back next weekend for the St. Patrick's Day Festival at Ocean Drive!

On my way to the beach!
