Brrr!

I'm not one of those gloating-about-the-weather Californians.  I know you're cold out there!  I've spent many a bundled winter hiking over icy plow mounds and stepping into slush-covered puddles, and I still don't think you should move here just for the weather.  Snowy winters can be so beautiful, and sometimes (but not always) I miss them.

I was thinking about you out there in the blizzards when I noticed this tangerine peel on my breakfast table, the perfect symbol for the Californian daydreaming about winter:

  5. Hahaha! I live in Canada and truly appreciate your post! :)I truly love my country, our fall is gorgeous and I agree winter is truly beautiful. February however is harder to handle. But it is nice to think that while I day dream about sunny days someone in California is thinking about chilly days

  6. LOL! Well, I am one of those "gloating-about-the-weather Californians"! :) That made me smile. I'm from Kansas, so I appreciate the weather here so much.
