Weather Woes

I looked forward to this past weekend with much delight.  In my mind I saw warm weather, morning strolls for tea, days lying out at the beach, late afternoons spent grilling and mixing up cocktails, evenings spent wandering the main street of our little beach town, only to end up at the movies with an equally warm breeze to greet us on our way out.  What-ever Norma Rockwell (that's me - Norman's sister).  That nonsense was nowhere to be found. 

Instead what follows is just one example of what went down several times throughout the weekend.

Delusional woman ignores overcast skies and puts on shorts only to go outside 
                                          and say to self, "Wait.  Is that a breeze?"

Refusing to be conquered by weather this same woman goes to other gate to see 
                                                   if the breeze is, in fact, breezy. 

         Woman moves quickly realizing warmer clothing is necessary.  In July.

                   Woman re-emerges, weather dreams shattered, wearing pants. 
                                              
                   Eases disappointment by wearing "the ones that almost got away" -
                                                    You can run but you can't hide.

Woman pauses hearing cuckoo-bird neighbor say he's moving out the next day!

      Devoted boyfriend whispers, "turn around so I can get one happy picture".
        Woman tries not to burst out laughing and get busted for eavesdropping
     whilst boyfriend captures the look of inward elation despite pants in summer.

Here's how the weekend looked:  bundled under covers in mornings while heat clicked on by itself, opened curtains to fog, fog gave way to overcast, overcast gave way to 1 or 2 hours of sun while the breeze blew killing any heat that might have been trying to get through.  The Chef and I ate hearty breakfasts and he grilled some greatness - while wearing a full sweatsuit.  We went to movies - having donned winter garments.  We used the heater in our cars.  We ate ebelskivers and drank cocktails to our hearts' content.  It was fourth of July in December!
