I am currently on vacation at my daughters home in California! I arrived yesterday just in time for Easter. I left the cold and snow of Minnesota hoping to arrive to the sunny days of this fine state....well it was cold yesterday and rained all night! LOL.....so much for sunny California! It's overcast again today but that is okay because being here with my daughter and her family warms my heart anyway! How are things in your neck of the woods on this fine Easter morning? Sunny or rainy?

Well, we were in the 70s here in the Seattle area on Easter. It was actually the warmest day of the yr so far. We had weather like this for 3 days. Sorry that it has to be rainy there in CA for you.

We ended up having a couple of nice afternoons...but where they live the fog rolls in late afternoon and stays until about 10 in the morning...it also rained a couple of times but they needed it....

I hope you're having a great time. It hailed like crazy a couple of nights ago, and then last night it rained and rained and rained. Halfway through today it started raining again. Which is actually good, because we needed the rain. I'm sure it got in the way of a lot people's plans for the day, but I actually kind of enjoyed the rain. I find it soothing occasionally.

I agree...sometimes it's nice to hear the rain. Unlike alot of people I also like the wind. Knowing you are from the heart of tornado country I know you probably don't want much wind....but I grew up listening to it. There is a poem by someone named Brian Andress.....it's when I die I want to be a tree. If you ever get a chance to read it....the part I love is how his branches would sway in the wind and rock the children to sleep.

Happy Easter Jill Hill. I hope that you have a lovely time visiting your daughter in California. I have visited California in February 1993, November 2001 and April 2002. I haven't ever seen it very sunny or warm. I live in North Somerset in England. It is miserably cold and windy in this location. I am fed up with the wintery weather. It is meant to be spring. We have had some sunshine but the wind chill has made it way to cold for my liking. Yesterday I drove to South Somerset. We had ten minutes of glorious sunshine eating our lunch on a bench before going to a village hall for an Easter party. After that it was chilly again. Some areas have snow.

It is nice and sunny here in Missouri. The current temperature is 68 degrees. We were outside earlier playing with the new bubbles my daughter got today. She stayed out for about an hour running around and enjoying one of the first decent weather days we have had around here for awhile. Enjoy Cali!!

Here in New England (Western Ma.) it's a surprising 56F and sunny. No wind, either. And I thought California was sunny and warm! But you've got plenty of sunshine inside your daughter's house, I'm sure. Happy Easter to you and your family in not-so-sunny California!

Hello to you in California. I have been in California when it was chilly and was shocked but it happens. Love the state. Pretty here today in Missouri but a little on the chilly side although the sun is out. Last week at this time we were snowed in. Some areas around us got as much as 14 inches of snow. I sure know that warm feeling when being with our family. Enjoy your time and hope you are able to get out and do a few things before your return trip home. I am jealous!

Hahaha! I could have told you it's not always sunny in California. I should know. I've lived here all my life! LOL Apparently there was thunder and lightning last night. The lightning was so close, it shook the house...literally! However, I slept through it all, with the exception of my husband asking if I felt it and the dog barking crazily because of it. LOL Hope you're enjoying your stay anyway! Happy Easter! PS What part of Cali is your daughter in?

Lompoc....at Vandenberg AFB. Not as foggy today either.....that's a good thing. When I landed in Santa Barbara I was hopeful to see the city as that is why I pick window seats...it was so foggy some on the plane were worried about landing!

Easter for us this year was both rainy and sunny. It was raining in the very early hours of the morning and by the time that church was over, it was beautiful and sunny outside. In fact, it was the warmest day that we've had in quite some time and the kids really did have a great time searching for Easter eggs outside and I loved taking some new Easter pictures of my children in the new Easter outfits that the Easter bunny brought for them.

40 degrees and sunny with a few clouds in Mpls. I've been to California just about every time of year! The best chance you get for no rain and warm temps is far to the south. It's wonderful you can spend time with your daughter and I can guarantee it's much nicer than here! We just came back from Garrison by Mille Lacs lake for three days and in the warmest part of the day it was actually warm in the heat of the afternoon sun and no wind, 40degrees and one campfire did it for us, but it was short lived.

Even with the snow though the sun is warm there now....and that makes it feel alot warmer. Hopefully today will be a bit better...not as much fog this morning.
