Hahaha. It is all so very true! I try to warm my hands on Nick as well–he is always warm, like an electric heater. He also yelps quite loudly. He especially does when I hug him and my nose (which somehow gets very cold) “accidentally” brushes against his neck or shoulder. Miss you Janelle!

In my misspent youth, I lamented the lack of seasons in SoCal. I’m so over that and don’t even have any cold weather clothes to wear when visiting the fam. I love fall and live in the only zone in SoCal where lilacs can grow. The trees also turn colors, so it’s ALMOST Vermont, though with lots of sushi bars.
Mmm … Vermont with sushi bars. SoCal is intriguing, but I probably wouldn’t fit in with all the glitz and glamour. Janelle

“Cold Hands, Warm Heart” is a Brendan Benson song! Are you familiar with him? He’s one of my favorites.
I’m not! I’ll have to find him on itunes. My friend Cassie gave me that phrase. I seem to use a lot of song titles as blog titles. Hmm. Janelle

Let me echo what Cathy said – I’m in sunny central FL, where we had a week of highs in the 50′s for our winter. I’m so ready to be somewhere with season’s, and yes, even snow. This winter has been better, because I’ve been in snow for most of it, but, it’s weird – whenever I come home, and sit out in the 80 degree heat, I get homesick for a place I’ve never lived.
Maybe we ought to switch houses for a while? I understand that feeling of homesickness for places you’ve never lived. Come out to Montana, we’ll show you some snow! Janelle

I’ve never liked snow, so I would have been happy to have just three seasons. There doesn’t seem to be a winter where my daughter lives (and also Jan) in So. California, which probably explains why way too many people live there far beyond the carrying capacity of the state. I loved visiting, but felt crowded. Plus, a little rain sends them into a tailspin. The down side of lovely weather is that you’re elbow to elbow with your neighbor, while in Montana you have room to breathe, even if your breath forms icycles!
Let’s move to Tasmania. It has a nice temperate climate, and not too many people. Janelle
