Do you talk to your neighbors in your pajamas?

Do you talk to your neighbors in your pajamas? Well, my answer is "normally, no". But when I went outside to retrieve the newspaper from my driveway at 6:05AM, I noticed that Sonoma County was going to have a fabulous sunrise.

So I went back in the house, grabbed my camera and headed three houses down the street so I could get a shot without a distracting telephone pole in the photo.

After taking several shots, I heard "Hey Cynthia" from behind me. My neighbor Chuck startled me since I was so involved with what I was doing I didn't even hear him come out of his house.

And yes, I had my pajamas on. Not just any pajamas, my Grinch pajamas. Good thing it was still pretty dark out, I don't think he noticed all of the white snowflakes and green Grinch heads on blue flannel.

Oh well, who doesn't love a great looking sunrise?

Great shot. Those pajamas take really good pictures.  I wish I was always camera ready.

Ah, California!  Much too cold in the morning to do sunrise pics in my PJs here in Connecticut, heaven's we just had a frost the other night!  Nice photo!

Lots of conversations in my pajamas.  Taking trash cans to the curb seems to be impossible without bumping into a neighbor.

I would die! My pj's aren't something I would want to be caught in by a neighbor! Although I do go outside in my nightie sometimes to take out the trash or something. If I had to walk down the street I would probably throw on some sweats! Beautiful sunrise though!

BDAMB - About 3 months after I started blogging, I had go have my camera charged and in my purse AT ALL TIMES.

Lisa - it was actually really warm this morning ... I don't envy where you live :)

Mike - yes, that happens to me on Sunday evening. I always forget to take the trash out BEFORE the pajamas go on.

BLiz - look in your patio house basement, you might find that it came with one :)

Stephanie - I used to get caught in my bathrobe and we all know what we wear underneath those!

Peggy - right now I can't think of living anywhere else. I love living in the San Francisco North Bay. BEAUTIFUL!

Tammy - I knew someone was going to ask me for a photo of my pajamas and YOU did not disappoint! OK, a little blurry, but you get the idea! What, you wanted a photo of me in them? Nope ... you must be my neighbor to have the privilege of that!

The picture is great! I ride my bike early in the morning and you'd be surprised how many people go out to get the paper but for get the pajamas...

Good thing you weren’t someplace like Texas, or Alabama, or any other area of the Bible Belt. You would have been risking arrest for public indecency.
