June Gloom in July

Walking through Laguna Beach yesterday afternoon we spotted this "Wanted" poster.  For some reason, June Gloom has stayed long past its welcome this summer and some residents of Southern California are beginning to get very,very antsy.  While our neighbors in the east are dealing with sweltering temperatures, we have been living underneath a blanket of thick, grey cloud cover that has caused our residents to become both cranky and creative.

I did not call the phone number on the poster for fear that I might be asked to rescue some poor soul who  has been locked away inside of their home, suffering desperately from Seasonal Affective Disorder.  But I definitely appreciated the humor behind its sentiment.  And I also love the idea that whomever posted this sign made a lot of people smile(even if only an itty-bitty tiny one) and that by doing so, they might have just brought the sunshine back into the lives of those who stopped to read it.

I sent our dog Micah out to search for the sun since he absolutely LOVES big, shiny balls and he is a master at retrieving them.

Until then, I hope that you are enjoying some warm summer breezes, ice cream cones and a peak at some lost sunshine every now and then!
