Atlantic Beach

Atlantic Boulevard walk in the cold.

 WE are, like the rest of the U.S., in a cold snap. For us that means a bit of a freeze, followed by a 40f (4.4C) day with stiff breezes from the North. I took a walk along Atlantic Boulevard in Atlantic Beach to take advantage of the clear, humidity-free air. The Shaved ice did not appeal today. We lived in Vermont for 22 years so I have a small section of my closet devoted to LL Bean winter shirts and vests. I was toasty under three layers.

Retro McDonald's, Atlantic Beach

I'm not a big fan of McDonald's. The only time we eat there is on a long drive with no other options. The fries are a very guilty pleasure for a Weight Watchers member. I have always liked the design of this one in Atlantic Beach. It retains some of the feel of the first McDonald's, which were a novelty and a bit of a thrill to go to. Guess I'm old.

Frozen fan palm leaves, Atlantic Beach

Today was our coldest day of the year, 41f (05C) at the warmest. We went down to 28f(-2.2C) last night and the sub-tropical vegetation took a big hit, again. The freeze adds some interesting color to what is usually a uniform green.

This yard evolves every time I visit Atlantic Beach. Can't wait for the Spring planting!
