My poor husband, I don't know how many times I've asked him, isn't this Christmas (December) hotter than previous Decembers? Ugh! He patiently tells me "no, honey" it is about this way every year. Now I am a native Floridian, you would think I would know this. Deep down I do, I must right? Then all of a sudden I realized last year this time I spent the majority of my days in the snow and ice up in Louisville, KY and Jeffersonville, IN. It was the first time in my life (that I can actually remember) that I experienced the change of seasons. Beautiful! The winter can be dreary and beautiful at the same time, and boy does it have an impact on daily living. Being a Floridian, I was not used scraping ice off the windshield, waiting for the car to warm up before taking off and wearing socks for that matter! Sometimes I couldn't go anywhere and nothing was open. I would have starved to death if it hadn't been for a vending machine at a hotel I happen to be staying at during an ice storm. (maybe starving is pushing it... but I was hungry and I don't think Funyuns have any nutritional value)
So, no scarf, no gloves, and no wool coat this year. I'm back in the Florida sunshine and happy to be here with my family. I do wish it would get a little cold for Christmas week, that would be nice. Until that happens, maybe I will drive to the beach for a Christmas picnic.
This picture was taken in Jeffersonville, IN through my office window out into the parking lot.
I hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday Season in all kinds of weather.
Peace & Love,
Kim
