Crazy...what can I say? We had a wicked winter and now....days before the official start of spring, we had a lovely day yesterday....temps went up about 65 and it was sunny. I put two loads of towels and some bed linens out on the clothesline....love the smell of things after drying outside like that. While they were drying, hubby and I went into Rehoboth Beach for lunch at an Italian place we like and then went up on the boardwalk for a short stroll. This is me...windblown hair and all.....enjoying the nice day!
Next we went to the candy shop......see some photos below. We got the smallest amount you can buy of sugar-free peanut butter fudge...it was yucky and actually made me feel ill when I tried a piece of it last night. It went into the trash!!! Hubby did get his usual bridge mix and you can see in the last candy picture what I got......kind of silly but fun!
Lots of gummy candies (on the left)....lots of chocolates (on the right).....and a huge display of Easter items, too.
But.....I got..........peach flavored gummy penguins! Aren't they cute? Those of you who don't know me are saying, "How stupid!!!" BUT...those of you who know me and know I like penguins are getting a bit of a chuckle right now.
I did go to the local quilt shop, too...and got my giveaway prize for the soon-to-be-held bunny hop mentioned on my sidebar. AND....we came home to find a couple of purple crocuses (courtesy of birds, I suspect, since we only planted yellow ones). Overall, what a day......quilt shop, lunch out, a nice walk by the ocean, candy, and more flowers by the back door!!!

It really lifts your soul, a day like that! Well done you for grasping it with both hands! Have you seen the film Happy Feet? I will never think of Penguins in the same way again!!!
Yippie you had a fun day!! It was pretty here too!
Those penguin candies are adorable!!
Glad you had a nice day and a sign of spring. It was not that warm here but it is getting there.
One word- jealous!!! LOL Having warm weather here - and been riding every day- but no beach - just a little river..........
yesterday was beautiful here, today it is raining with lightning and LOUD thuderclaps that rend the air. It woke me early and I never full got back to sleep. I will be a hot mess today.
Did you eat the penguins? Surely not! I am sure you will coat them in acrylic and keep them forever. Ha ha.
I'm wondering too, did you eat those cute penguins? What a lovely day you had, we get to shovel 6 inches of snow today :0(

Oh it sounds like a great day! I can't wait until we have one here just like it....
Love the seaside picture!! I don't care for gummies, but it looks like I would have been able to find something in the shop! thanks for the fun pictures!
Two of my favorite things, sunny days and candy. What could be better?
those candy penguins are so cute
What a lovely day. A visit to the candy store can make any day even sweeter. Love your little penguins.
Sounds tough to beat that day! The penguins are adorable! Almost to cute to eat, almost.
Sounds like such a lovely day. Your temps might have been higher then ours! Love the little penguins.
did you go to Nickibolas for lunch?
Pat, you make me want to come to the beach this weekend! I might have to change my mind! It looks like you had a great time! WOW! FUN! I am glad I am not missing the owner of the shop on Thursday! I will have to catch up with her another time!
Next to quilting a walk at the beach and a candy shot are my favourite things! I love your penguins! They are so cute. Are you going to eat them?
Hi Pat......I think everywhere that the sun shone....people were out enjoying the big yellow/white ball of hot gas....I'm keeping my writing skills sharp...LOL...you know, it's a teacher thing....it was around 70 here yesterday and absolutely cheerful!!!
Come on SPRING!
What a wonderful day - and the gummy penquins are too cute.
I can't say enough about not eating sugarless things - the chemicals they put in to make it sugarless are dangerous (chlorine for one) and can affect our brains, as well as our other organs and have even been deadly. I say eat sugar, just eat less of it if necessary.
it has been beautiful here too. Been sitting on my front porch, a little each day, soaking in the sun.
Love those candy shop pics! I don't have any candy in the house at the moment. good thing 'cause after looking at your pics, I want sweets! :)
oh my, love those penguins. tj is a fan of anything gummy. he gets tons of it from his parents for christmas every year. i wished i could walk on a boardwalk for my exercise, how awesome would that be. instead i'm strolling up hill on a mountain. i guess people that have the beach wants mountains and people that have mountains wants the beach. i should just be happy. ok, i am. hugs
I'm a total kid when it comes to candy stores... Love candy!
Sounds like you had a wonderful day. After this winter it sure made the beautiful weekend weather something to look forward to!
Hugs!
What a lovely day! The little flowers by the back door are so precious and the penguin candies - a hoot! Glad you enjoyed early spring weather - the best days, huh?
I loved everything about your day! Wish I could go for a stroll on the beach as it looks so warm and sunny. You are so fortunate to have those purple crocus. How lovely! I can't wait for real spring! The penquins are just perfect for you!

I love the sea, as you know, but Pat, the best was the candy shop. I would have loved that.
What a great day!

Great day!!!
Looks like you sure had a lot of fun. Yum Yum. Everything looks so good. LOL
What a lovely day - just LOOK at that blue sky! I love clothes dried on the line, too. We always used to dry on the line at our PEI house (sigh - I miss that), but not here in the city.
Ha! Love the gummy penguins. Gummy anything is good with me! I hope you enjoyed them.
It was a gorgeous day here too. I am glad you got out and about. I don't have a clothes line, but remember very well hanging all our clothes as a child with my mom.
Sunshine alone would be great along about now, but add candy and the beach priceless (LOL).
Glad you got out and had a great day.
What a wonderful day! We love italian too. Yum. Makes me want to go out and eat! I won't get any of that sugar free candy though.
MMmmm ..... candy! They look delicious!
I love your flowers are starting to bloom, so i hope soon mine, too!
Enjoy the Bunny Hoop!
Happy sewing!
I love the candy shop (I know that surprises you...) I am like a kid when I go in there....those penguins are adorable.
Isn't it funny what tickles our fancy.. They are cute and love the candy shop.. Glad you had a good day

it looks just beautiful! Spring is coming!!!!! Even here, I think...the sun is shining and I am going to hang clothes on the line...one of my favorite things too.....
Sounds like a perfectly lovely day. Love the penquins!
