Happy Mothers Day!

Mornin'!  Happy Mothers Day!  Salute to you if you're a Momma reading this!  Here's to you! Do something for yourself today.  And, hopefully whatever it is, you're doing it at the Shore!  It's 59° and lovely and slightly breezy in WW this morning.  Slept in a bit as hubby sneaked over to visit Mrs. Britton today at Britton's bakery in WW Crest!  I had warm apple fritters waiting for me when I woke this morning.  Now, that's a great Mothers Day opener...sea air in the porch windows and Mrs. Britton's warm apple fritters on the kitchen counter!  Perfection.  If you're in Wildwood and have never had a Britton's apple fritter...are you in for one of the sweetest treats of your life.  The sugar rush is carrying me away...focus...back to the weather.   It's 59° and heading to 70° again today.  It'll be partly sunny (some clouds are checking in today) and dry and mild.  Breezes begin out of the SW and shift from the South later at 10-15mph.  More clouds than yesterday but no rain until after midnight.

Enjoy your day Mommas!

A Lovely Weekend for the Mommas

Mornin'!  It's 63° this not so early morn.  Not early for me as I've had other commitments before blogging today.  While out and about before 7a.m., I was enjoying the lovliness of the island and the mainland.  I'm sure alot of other folks are too as the island's picking up with extra guys and dolls checked in.  Wildwood's coming alive.  Traffic is a bit thicker.  Wawa's jumping.  Tom Cat's back up and running and jumping as I drove by.  I was tempted to go in and have me some breakfast but waited until I got home to enjoy a wonderful Wildwood bagel. http://www.wildwoodhotbagels.com/ It's a beauty out there and the plan is to get back out there.  Sun's out; salt and sea are in the air; a light Westerly breeze is wifting (I mean wafting) over the island.  It's going up into the mid 70's today as the sun pours down all day.  Winds will sustain at 10-15mph and shift later from the West to the SW.  Tomorrow looks pretty much the same although a bit cooler with some sporadic clouds in the mix.  Ahh....nature's loving its mommas! What a gift!
btw...all week Key West stays in my heart and mind and that's where this week's shots are from.  Who knows, maybe next week's too!

Wrapping it up

Mornin'!  It's 55° this morning.  Ms. Sun just made it across the horizon and will stick around all day.  We're wrapping up the week with a beauty as it will be dry, mild and sunny with temps just tapping the 70° mark.  Winds will still be breezing about at 10-20mph with some gusting, first from the NW, then the WNW, then wrapping up the day out of the WSW.  The weekend's looking like much of the same I'm happy to report but without the breezes.  Sunday looks like it may have some clouds rolling in but it'll still be a nice, mild, Spring day for all the Mommas.

40 days until Summer!

Dreary to Bright

Mornin'!  It's 58° in Wildwood.  Even though the sun just rose, it's dreary and gray this early morn as the clouds are keeping it at bay.  Like yesterday, everything's drippy and wet outside but not raining at the moment.  With the lingering morning clouds, we could see a sprinkle, but the sun's going to show itself before our lunchbreak. My bet...no more rain today.  That big ol' sun will probably continue to shine brightly right through Mother's Day weekend too. Temps will be in the mid-high 60's today with brisk winds out of the NW at 15-20mph with 25+mph gusts.  Could use a little sun shining today even through bad hair!

Wet Wednesday

Mornin'!  It's 62° in Wildwood.  It's overcast and breezy and not raining at the moment, but everything's damp outside.  Some things are even slightly damp inside (my fuzzy slippers were when I slipped into them).  Ah...island living!  It'll stay around the low 60's today as the rains hang out most of the day and evening.  The coast may see more periods of rainfall and showers than the mainland.  Winds will be out of the S-SW at 10-15mph with some minor gusts.

Tuesday Mix

Mornin'!  It's 58° in Wildwood.  The sun's just crossed the horizon and the sky looks gorgeous with all its lovely pastel colors.  Temps will stay around the 60° mark today as the clouds try and squeeze this lovely, dry, Spring day into a rainy evening.  By nightfall, the rain should be checking in for a couple overnighters. Winds will be out of the South at 15-20mph with 30+mph gusts.  By late Thursday...the sun will have checked in for the weekend.

I'm home!

Mornin'! It's 57° in WW this morning.  Sun's up and at the moment...bright and clear.  Winds are out of the SE at 10-15mph (with minor gusting) and will stay there all day.  Temps will just be tapping the 60° mark.  Clouds are rolling in making it partly sunny/partly cloudy (your choice) today as a rainy system is headed this way by tomorrow into Thursday.  It's looking like Monday and Friday are the sunny, nice bookend days to this week.  High tide: 9:51a.m.; Low tide: 3:53p.m.; Ocean temp: 55°; Sunset: 8:00p.m.

Just an update...arrived home late Saturday night from a week's vacation in Key West, FL.  Temp when we left was 85° with sunny, blue skies.  I had a nice taste of summer last week...tropical rains, intense hot sun, humidity, sunblock applications, sweating most of the time, straw hat, bathing suit and flipflops worn all week.   Not to mention delicious food meal after meal after meal including yummy Key Lime pie.  I enjoyed the cocktails, the beach, our pool, lots of bike riding, shopping, turtle races, tropical fish, a butterfly museum, a sunset cruise, a beautiful full moon, roosters and  pelicans along with Florida seagulls. I'll truly miss the Key West characters most. Characters everywhere you looked.  Something that must be seen to appreciate.   It was a really fun vacation as me, my husband and our son and his fiancé enjoyed an awesome time away.  We were truly blessed to have that time together.  I have to admit as for weather...I do like Wildwood's weather this time of year and will enjoy easing into our summer (44 days away).  I'm happy to be home and back to my beach!
