last week was the coldest day on record here
five days later
the national weather services thermometer (in los angeles) broke
when it reached 113 degrees.
the hottest day ever.


as soon as i got out of work
i ran to the beach
and jumped in the ocean!
then i made some popsicles.
summer has finally arrived.

p.s. owen got his own little swimming pool in the backyard where he's been splashing happily and bobbing for his toys. he's terribly cute when he's all wet. oh owen.

  1. Lori,

    I have been meaning to write for a while, but evenings have been crazy. I received the package from you and wanted to hang it somewhere and take a picture and post it on my blog and thank you properly. But haven't managed to do it so far. I love the flags - I will treasure them forever. Both my daughters love them as well and we are thinking of a central location to display it for everyone's viewing pleasure.

    Thanks again.

    And 113 degrees!!! It is 70 here today - maybe we can take an average of both and it would be a good number :)

    I want the hottest day ever. I would love that. It gets pretty hot when I'm in AZ in the summer and I seem to really dig the heat.

    Owen must be so cute in that pool!!

  5. Oh you poor thing! The entire Southern California is setting records. We got up into the 70's, ten degrees warmer than we have known since moving here. Thank God for the Ocean!

  7. Wow the weather certainly is changing in ways that we haven't known before.

    We've also had some very hot days this past September.... it's only Spring and it feels like Summer.

    When my dog was young he too had his own little swimming pool. He didn't bob for toys..... he just laid there for hours on end during the endless summer heat.

    Lovely photos Lori... I can feel the heat and fun of it all.

    Love to you
    xx

    That weather is indicative of Australian weather too.....psychotic!

    I don't know whether to send you a virtual cool drink or a beanie.xx♥

    What ´s happenning with this weather thing, Lori?

    Here in Brazil it´s Spring but sometimes it feels like we´re still in Autumn...

    Have a happy, hot ( or maybe cold) weekend, dear Lori!

  13. The weather is weird. It has been 85 all week here and it is usually about 40 this time of year. I don't think I could handle 113!
    Kiss that Owen, he is a doll.
    And so are you :-). xoxo
