While the official forecast last week was heavy with predictions of big rains toward the end of the week and this weekend, we've had nothing but spectacular weather. Yes, it's getting warmer (I believe I've heard the word *hot* bandied about...y'all forget what hot is so quickly?), but the trades, while fading, are still blowing, the nights are still cool enough for a light covering - I still have my perfect purple blanket out (and no, F, you can't steal it).
This morning looks like another winner in the *before it's so hot you are wet after your shower dry off* sweepstakes.
This is a three day weekend in PR, celebrating the life of Jose de Diego, the poet and...well, if you want to read more about him, check out the link below. His birthday was really the 16th, but in true holiday fashion, it is kept to the third Monday in April to give another three day weekend.

This is the first really beautiful three day weekend we've had in ages. The rest were wind and giant swell events, keeping people on home turf. Making up for it, the waters are full of boats from the big island, rafted up and partying (with birthday cake for Jose, no doubt). I'll be out among them this afternoon, so if, late in the day, you hear a spirited, if not melodic, group rendition of Happy Birthday, Jose, wave to us.
Enjoy a happy Sunday! p.s. The laughing gulls are back!
