Sweet Saturday Sky

Happy Fifth of July! Yes, Independence Day was yesterday, but today marks the beginning of birthday celebrations for me. As a child, I always loved how thoughtful people were to light off fireworks for me. No, I didn't know the definition of self-centered. My birthday isn't until next week, but I started out well today with a trip to The Yarn Lady to pick up more sock yarn (!) and get my birthday discount. I'm now all set for our upcoming vacation. The sky photo is from 3 July as the marine layer slipped away in the morning. Our crazy "cloudy" mornings confuse a lot of people. We had a difficult time convincing my MIL that it wasn't going to rain when she visited during June Gloom. Elizabeth Bird was convinced that she had the power to bring clouds to Southern California when she was here last week. No, it's just marine layer. No rain. We won't have rain for months. All that sun does give us other things. Here is a very small view of the piles of lemons I squeezed yesterday.
