Cold, cold, cold
There comes a time every winter when the cold weather really gets to me, and I wonder why and the hell I live where I do. Well, it's that time. The Squirrel Cam Thermometer says it's -39 F or -39 C, the only time the two ever meet. That meeting doesn't do anything for my mood either. It's cold enough to spit and hear it crack before it hits the ground. A friend of mine who lives in North Carolina, sent me a few pictures in an email of the flowers starting to bloom and grow in his yard. My spring is so far off for anything green to grow I can't even imagine it. The only thing growing here is ice and the permafrost. Sigh

ReplyDeleteI do understand your frustration with the weather but it on the other end of the themometer. you get tired of the cold and I get so tired of the heat and humidity. I think the ground hog was right and we have had an early spring. Temps have been hanging close to 80 for the last week here. Lucky to have a few cool nights in the upper 50's. There were a few days as the short winter was leaving that I was able to go outside and see the sky that was crystal blue and feel a nice brisk wind that had somewhat of a nip to it and wonder if there was a place on earth that was this way all year round. While you live in a freezer I live in a heater ( or rather a steam oven) I think we have had 8 weeks of winter this year and while the kids might love it, they are not the ones trying to pay the outrageous electric bills. I remember my cousins in New Mexico use to come here to visit when I was a kid and they would NOT go outside . They said it was too hot.. It would be like 90F. I would think they must be crazy!! I had been to their house and it was over 100F every day!! But it was dry there.. The humidity will kill you!! Everyday is a bad hair day and it flushes out your sweat glands for sure. While it is already in the 80's today and I sit here shaking off a spring cold I can't help but dread the blasted heat that is creeping into my world and sneezing as the pollen floats around those beautiful flowers . Then I wonder how much it is gonna cost to get my grass cut this year. Do I sound like a glass half empty person? I guess today I am. I sure can't wait for a cool day. Maybe a week or two before Christmas? hum.. If I am lucky! .......Dorothy
