Pea Soupy to Sunburst

I saw the sunrise and sunset today. A foggy morning led to such a mild, sunny, and beautiful day. Today was a day of relaxation after an immensely busy week. We took a hike in the woods as the sun burned off the fog. This afternoon we went horseback riding, took a drive along the ocean, and visited our son and his girlfriend. We sat outside on his patio with our masks on and social distanced until they brought out a few appetizers, bottled water, and wine. Now we are home and showered, but too tired to do anything. Hubs just told me he will order dinner for us later, and we will relax and watch a movie or two. Tomorrow will be a mix of rain and snow.

Your photos are wonderful, the sunset looks almost like the trees are ablaze! Your day had so much enjoyment, your son loved this, too. I'd like to learn how to ride a horse:)

Many thanks. I had just showered and was in my closet when I saw the sunset. I ran outside in my robe to get the photo before it disappeared. Just ask Aubrey how to ride a horse!

Buuuurrrrrr, I don't envy the rain and snow you'll be getting ...... to think I'm sitting here with a heater behind me cuz it's 36f outside. That's already way too cold for me but hey, at least it's not quite that cold in here.

It was 60 degrees here today. Our heat has been off since this morning and will stay off overnight. We love sleeping in a cool room. However, it will on until May from now on. Thank goodness it's free!

I wrote a discussion about it not long ago @rebelann. We have our younger son to thank for that. His new client is an oil company. He suggested ways for them to build their business and now they can barely keep up with it. As a favor, they are giving us and him free fuel oil for the next several years that he knows of. And free servicing, too.

@DianneN Nothing can beat morning fog being burned off by a rising sun. You've sent me back to India now, to the rooftop where I used to sleep in Old Delhi from where I watched the fog dissipate under the influence of the rising sun over the roofs of Chandni Chowk. Thanks.

Snow and rain here today. Been foggy-cloudy for days. I loved seeing your sunrise. Horseback riding. I miss that freedom- my knees and balance are gone so forget that for me.

@DianneN Your Mother and I have that in common plus my knees. Those huge kitty cats can take the bit in their teeth and run, leaving you with either hanging on by your hair or being thrown. Last time I was on a horse I felt like I was on a slick ice rink.

@sallypup I'd rather be on a horse than an ice rink. Just ask my Ice Princess.

My main goal is not to fall off a horse. I consider them huge kitty cats. lol My mother was thrown and never got back on. She was okay, but frightened.

Thanks! We are getting a mix of rain and snow tomorrow, but because of the 60 degree weather we had today, it should melt. Not so when we get hit Wednesday into Thursday. I hope for Florida.

Enjoy your evening. It is a foggy night here I looked out the window before and wondered what I was seeing and then I realized we are surrounded by fog. It is warmer also,

Actually, it's a sunset, but it does look like the forest is on fire.

I just went back to look at the photo and it does seem that way. Thanks. It was a nice day overall, especially since it won't be as warm for many, many more months.
