This week, I took a little break and drove down to the beach for a mini getaway/writing retreat for myself at a friend's condo. It was quiet and peaceful, with no responsibilities or obligations to distract me! I did lots of reading and some much-neglected writing and also took some short walks on the beach, in spite of lingering winter weather!

Cold temps, dark skies, and lingering snow kept the boardwalk pretty empty! |

I still love the ocean, even with those dark skies - the smell, the sound, and the sight. |

The weather didn't bother the locals! |

Hard to believe the next day was the first day of spring! |

On my last day, the sun came out! |
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend and enjoying the start of spring!
