The Niceness Continues

Mornin'!  It's 56° this early morn.  Clouds are just right as they're going to provide a beautiful, colorful sunrise in less than an hour.  No breezes to write about.  I sat outside with my coffee and took in the island this dark, early morning.  It's quiet except for the sound of the ocean roaring and the birds waking and chirping as far as the ear can hear.  It's lovely.  It's been really nice on the island lately.  I have to admit that yesterday was without question a beach day...probably the first true one of the year.  While sitting at lunch down by the sea, I witnessed car after car park; then after retreiving sandchairs and coolers and bags, the beach-goers almost skipped to the beach.  One couple took all their stuff out of the car trunk and stood their hugging before trekking to the dunes.  Everyone had a bit of pep in their step and it was fun to watch.  Today could play out the same as it'll remain mild with temps tapping 70° but with more clouds in the mix.  Heavy clouds will filter in as rain is due tonight.  Winds will be out of the SW first then shift by late afternoon to the S-SE all at 15-20mph.  Tonight, there's a threat of severe thunderstorms; just saying.
