Well, THIS is Different...

It is so weird to me, that it is the end of September, and it is still 95 degrees during the day. Probably because I moved from Fricking Siberia Wisconsin, which isn't exactly warm this time of year. It's usually about in the high 60's to low 70's during the day, and 40's at night. This time last year my kids were wearing their coats in the mornings, because the air had a bite to it.

Not so, here. The grass is still green (brown in some places because we're on watering restrictions) the trees still have blooms, very few are changing color yet, and it still feels like summer. Except when you walk into a craft store and see all the Christmas stuff up. Heh heh.

I mean, the pools are still open! And I've heard a lot of kids/adults wear shorts year round, here. Now, that is a BIG change from what I'm used to. I'm kind of liking it. Except I'm a cold-weather girl. I always have liked cold weather clothes. The boots, the jeans, the chunky sweaters and turtlenecks and jackets, and you don't exactly wear those when it's 90 degrees out. ;-)

Things that make you go Hmmmmmm.....

Yeah, I love cold weather. One of the many reasons I'm moving further north!

I have to admit...I'd hate to not have to bundle up during winter...Gee...maybe the southern California girl in me has left? Never thought of it before.
