Get out the winter clothes – it’s COLD here in Ft. Bragg

Even though we’d checked the weather prior to coming here to Ft. Bragg, we weren’t prepared for how cold it is here.  We are very close to the ocean and there’s a marine layer that hides the sun for most of the day.  Yesterday (Saturday) the sun came out for a couple of hours, but then the fog rolled in and it got cold again.

It’s been around 50 in the evenings and mornings, and warms up to the high 50s during the day.  Even when the sun is out there’s a breeze that keeps it from feeling warm.  So…we got our winter clothes out from beneath the bed storage where they’d been stored.

This brings up another problem – where to put our coats and sweaters when we’re not wearing them?!?  Our summer clothes fit just fine in the small wardrobe and couple of cupboards.  But more clothes and heavier clothes means more space is needed.  We solved it by putting a hook on the door between the living area and the bathroom for Jeff’s coats and another hook on the sliding door between the bedroom and the bathroom (our bathroom is in the middle of the trailer between the living area and the bedroom) for my coats.  It works pretty well.

We have a LOT of those “Command” hooks that stick well but come off easily so that we don’t have to put holes into the flimsy wall and door material in the trailer.  My large kitchen utensils hang on the wall, Jeff’s hats hang on the wall, Laddy’s leash, brush and clean-up bags hang on the wall.  There’s not a lot of wall space (more windows which I’m glad for) but the wall space we do have is filling up!
