The Weather Outside...

Is Frightful delightful!

 As much as people here complain about the warm weather in December, we take advantage of it. We play outside, take runs around the block, and swim in the pool.

 I am pretty sure those that complain haven't spent more than a week in the true cold, misery of all a true winter entails. Yes, building a snowman, playing in the snow, going sledding, and watching it snow on Christmas morning are fun. The awe factor wears out after day 7 of being stuck home due to bad roads or below zero temperatures, bundling up, muddy snow, little sunshine, and dark before 5 o'clock.

After 21 years of living in the Midwest, it is a bit weird to wear boots and sweaters in 70 degree weather, listen to Christmas music with the AC on, and wear shorts in December but we really do like it!

All our Northern friends and family that are sick of the cold/snow come the end of January, you are more than welcome to come visit!
