Yesterday was fun! We celebrated Angelica's birthday by having cake at home, then going surfing. We were going to surf on Beryl, but had a late start and got stuck in traffic so we just surfed in Oceanside. By the time we got there it was already 4, and high tide. We ran right into to freezing ocean and starting surfing right away :) At first it was freezing...but I concluded that after going under 3 times you would think, "It's not that bad."...then after 5 dunks you would be completely used to it.

After surfing, we headed down to San Diego, where we went to our favorite pizza place, Filippi's. It was great.

Calm Yourself

Cleaning the backyard the other day, I was suprised to find a little praying mantis:) He was so cute and little, I had to capture him.
After I let him go I went back to gardening and discovered a family of the little creatures:) some were even smaller.

Pretty As A Flower.

We've been without the sun for about a week now,

and so far I like it as much as my sunflowers

Which is not so much because I despise gloomy weather just as much as I despise feeling gloomy.

 

On another note, the roses, orange flowers, and white flowers (with purple), seem to be enjoying the gloomy weather...they seem to like their break from the scorching rays of the sun, (also known as a fire ball in ealry times.)

I can't wait until the sun decides to shine, and my sunflowers decide to wake up ^.^
