Is spring finally here?


It's our second day of gorgeous, sunny weather, and what luck that they're both on a weekend! Today a girl does yoga to the south, while to the north, men stand by the water's edge in shorts with no shirts on, others walk barefoot, and a group of teenagers play catch with a large ball, a plastic ring, and an oversized Frisbee. A few jellyfish have washed up on shore. The shells are mostly broken, which seems to be the case most of the time in Neptune Beach. The surf is too flat to attract any surfers, and the water temperature is still a little too cool for swimmers to venture out. I and the other Floridians mostly keep our shoes and jackets on, however, as the breeze coming from the northeast is still a little chilly. The walk back home, with my back to the wind, is much more enjoyable. Were the benches on the walkway at the foot of my street not filled upon my return, I would pause to drink it all in a little longer. Rain and colder temps are set to move in tomorrow, so this is but a taste of what's to come shortly.
