I'm coming to LA next Friday. We'll be staying in a house on the beach at Malibu. Will I need a jacket? How heavy?

Hi,
Hate to tell you this..........we are expecting rain and temps only in the 60's next week. So, yes, bring a jacket.

Yes, I would bring a jacket too ! If the wind blows and your near the water I would think it will be a little bit cool!
Still nice and warm here in the desert, but mornings and evenings are getting cool enough for a jacket.....Enjoy the Beach House, sounds wonderful !

Hmmm, I had some wild cherry tomato plants that were still green and looking good in Dec last year I finally cut down dug up. I wonder if I should see how long they will last this year. They sprout on their own from dropped seeds in the ground every year, so I suppose they are a bit hardier than those born indoors. Those little tiny tomatos are as good as candy. But I have to admit, the ones I picked off in Dec weren't so good any more. lol Each year I'm liking them more and more for athsetic purposes, they are a lovely ground covering vine, actually. If they were evergreen, I'd keep them and not complain.

Just like pickled cucumbers you can make sweet pickled okra, dill pickled okra, bread and butter okra, etc. You just use your favorite sweet pickle recipe to make sweet pickled okra. Same goes for most any vegetable that you like pickled. Dave Here is a link that might be useful: Sweet Pickles

OK...Luvs...got three answers on Tolefriends..... Use vinegar and water to clean the area to be painted. Undercoat with JW Undercoat and let it cure one week ( I haven't a clue what JW Undercoat is) Here is where all three differ: 1. Use "Final Coat" to seal 2. Use Krylon spray sealer very lightly 3. Don't use a sealer Also, one of the gals used colored Krylon spray paint the area she was painting. I seem to remember this in the back of my (limited) mind, seeing a scene that was painted on a light blue background that was fanned out at the edges, but it also could have been blended outward to no color. Hope this helps. Belle

Thanks. I went to SF once and thought I would never be warm again. My GD goes to school at Pepperdine and they're so tough I knew I couldn't get an old lady question answered from her!! LOL Thanks a bunch.

vannie...I have only been to SF twice in my life and I feel just like you did, took me months to thaw out ! I even carry a jacket with me in the summers months, it might be 110 outside but some restaurants keep the AC so high you need a down jacket & mittens to enjoy your meal !

You will need warm clothing. The temperature changes to a high usually mid afternoon, but only briefly there on a cool day. The mornings and evenings can be chilly. But you will still want to sit on the patio and have a cocktail or a BBQ, so bring warm clothing.

Ha, ha at SF comments. When it's hot inland, we get the marine layer (formerly called fog)...and freeze. Of course, if it's under 50 it's a cold wave and if it hits 70 we're having a heat spell. LOL.
Be sure to go skating and work out at muscle beach.

Anytime you are by the beach in California, take a jacket, a sweatshirt, a hat and long pants....along the coast we get the marine layer (fog) morning and evening and some days it doesn't dissipate all day long.
Usually October is a great month but this year it has been a) extremely hot, or b) cold and foggy.
Have a great time!
Drive inland out towards Palm Springs and it should be nice and warm.

I live in the Palm Springs area. The weather is the reason we moved here 5 years ago. Tired of having to thaw out from the Chicago weather.

don't forget your sunscreen!!! my mother fresh from kansas (peaches and cream skin, back before sunscreen) had one of the worst sunburns and it was overcast...they had to take her to a dr...

one of the best times was going out to a house a friend rented for the summer on pch...you really couldn't see much sand (one of the stilts kind) so it was like being on a boat...all ocean...

have you anything else planned?

If you are used to warm weather, you really need to take warm clothes when you are near the beach, especially mornings and evenings but take lighter clothes when you get away from the beach....Wear sunscreen and re-apply it often, too.

I have no idea what it was like today, I've been in the office working non-stop since 8am (it's now 9pm ... ugh).

But yes, bring a jacket to CA. I always have one in the car with me for when the nights cool down. Even in summer.

Layers layers layers.

Always dress in layers, and keep an extra jacket/sweatshirt in the car. Be prepared to take off and put it back on.

I can usually wear a sweatshirt year round here by the Monterey Coast.
