The Hired Hand and I went for our morning walk...Burrrr! It was a brisk, breezy, damp 50* and fortunately I had mittens in my pocket! I could of used a hat too and if you could of seen my lioness mane....the neighbors wished I had a hat on too...these curls of mine are totally out of control in the morning! We put in our 30 minutes more or less and called it a day. I'm already looking forward to 100+ weather in Texas again!
Since we live in a pine forest and pine trees are evergreens...well....its predominantly ever green here even in the fall. We don't get to see many leaves changing into their autumn attire like we did in Central Maryland, but there are a few.
I'm really NOT looking forward to cold weather...but that's too bad cause next week we will have some VERY cold mornings, the lowest being around 24* on Wednesday morning. Good grief Charlie Brown!!!!
Winters are so hard on me...I crave sunshine like a dog craves meat. I discovered after finally running my DNA that I actually have a mutated gene (1 among many) that causes me to crave the sun...Vitamin D. SO...I've got The Hired Hand onboard to plan a Winter vacation from our permanent vacation, to Puerto Rico! We've got a lot of Southwest points so our airfare is virtually free and renting a small house on one of the islands will be very affordable.
Now I've got something to look forward to midway before it starts to warm up again, which is about February when we can have early Spring temps. Our winter here is usually 3 months, with January being the worst (that's when I'm leaving on a jet plane!)...although to my dismay it started a tad early this year. We found a new house/dog sitter so watch out world...here we come!
