WORDLESS & WORDFUL WEDNESDAY

California weather is unpredictable.

The past couple of weeks have been scorching hot.

Last Saturday, our kids played soccer in 100 degree weather. There was no hint of fall in the air.

But, just a couple of days later, we're freezing our tails off at my son's soccer game.

My kids went from wearing shorts and t-shirts, to this...in just a matter of days.

    No kidding! At 6:00 this evening the wind came whipping up at my daughters field hockey game and all of a sudden we were freezing. Of course we won't tell all of the people in other parts of the country that we Californians think 65 is cold. :)

    Wow 100 degrees sounds dangerous for a game! And I can't believe Lindsey went from 85 to 34! Thats just crazy weather! Now I cant complain, cause it been around 70 everyday so far this fall in NYC. I love it! Hmmm maybe you need to visit LOL

    Happy WW!

    We're feeling the cold front here too. We enjoyed it last night though by lighting up a big fire in the pit out on the patio. Cozy!

    I love the expression on her face. It's like she's trying with all her might to be pleasant and smile, but the wind is just too cold! :)

    So fall officially came to your neck of the woods too, eh? Are you like me...prefer the cooler weather for games verses the hot?

    I feel you on the wacky weather.

    I think is that way all along the West Coast. A few days ago we were experiencing an Indian Summer and now we're kicking on the heater and hoping the last of our gardens are frozen at night. Ah, well, it lasted longer than is typical, so I'll just stay grateful!
