And they are not even happy! When I was a kid in Minnesota, everyone wanted to move to California because of the nice weather. Now, Californians are the ones who complain the most about the weather.

"not enough rain"
"too much rain"
"snow pack is not deep enough in the Sierra Nevadas"
"too much fire"

 

I'm in Orlando FL at Universal Studios for my honeymoon. It's a beautiful 79 degrees F here. Much nicer than the 40-something degrees back home!

 

I'd be happy for some 40 degree weather. We're still in the 90's.

You're lucky. The humidity just dropped yesterday, and I am seriously loving this!
I get so tired of being damp all summer, but yesterday I mowed the lawn and barely broke a sweat. All my other chores are easier than that, so...Yay! First day of wonderful!

Trust me, it gets really old really fast!

That makes me want to plan another FL Keys vacation after Christmas next year.

Some will complain if they were hung with a new rope.

Where is this ?

The Florida Keys are a string of islands off the Florida Penninsula in USA, south of Miami.

I was in Brownsville, TX, this weekend... this picture does no justice to the beauty of yesterday's perfect weather, but here it goes, anyway.

I'm ready for snow at the lodge this year.

Is it my imagination or does that look like the hotel from The Shining (the outside, anyway)?

A really cool place to visit right after a big snow storm.

 

Stay safe

Hmm, right at you. Maybe the mountains will keep you less wet.
