Cold, cold, cold - another cold front has arrived - February 10 - 16, 2025

Can you believe it??  Another cold front has arrived and it's chilly out.  Brrrr.  We all arrived at Prestwick Golf course dressed in layers.  It was cold and a little windy making it a challenge to play well.   We're troupers though and played our round.  An early evening was in order and a nice hot shower to warm up.  On Tuesday we had planned to golf again in Sunset beach with a round booked at Sea Trail -Maples course. This is right by Sunset beach near the Eagles.  The morning started off rainy and foggy and cold. It was 38f when we woke up. Brrrr.


Well as it turned out, Tuesday was a "wash" so to speak.  We all drove down to the course only to decide to cancel when we got there.  It was cold and rainy and just not worth spending the money on a round that you knew you wouldn't enjoy.  Everyone went their separate ways with Ralph and I driving to catch a glimpse of the eagles (5 minutes away) and Lawrence and Teresa joined us there as well.  They didn't stay long as it wasn't comfortable standing outside (even though the rain had stopped).  We hung around till 11:00 and then slowly headed back to the condo.  Prior to driving to the course this morning we stopped at the Thrift Store in town and picked up 5 more cake plates from Bobby Flay.  We really like the design of these and thought they would come in handy when entertaining.










On Wednesday we enjoyed a visit to Huntington Beach. It was nice to see that a few more birds were there. We enjoyed watching the Great Egret catching small fish and also the Heron catching the larger fish. It as so cool to see. It was also nice to see the eagle do a fly by.  This is the first time this year that we have seen this.  Very exciting.

 







The weather wasn't so nice on Thursday so we stayed in and enjoyed our books.    Friday we golfed at Oyster Bay even though it was really cold.   I had 5 layers on to stay warm and but it was still was fun.  We stayed for a short while to watch the eagles but because the temperature and wind were so cold we didn't stay long .






Since we were back early at the condo I enjoyed photographing some of the waves as the ocean was pretty rough.  I would love to capture a way where you can see into the tunnel.  One day....




We enjoyed some Presidents day shopping on Saturday and went back to see the eagles later in the afternoon.  They weren't that active so we enjoyed a nice visit with Rick and after he left we followed suit.  




Sunday was a foggy morning and rainy  it finally cleared up in the afternoon so I went for a walk on the beach and looked for sharks teeth  I got lucky and found d about 30 of them.    It must have been because the ocean was so rough that they were being washed up on shore.











It was a fun week but I sure wish it would warm up and still a little dryer.
