Nathan woke up fussing a bit ago and so now I am awake and I can’t turn off my brain.  Specifically the part where we are looking at record high temperatures this week. And zero chance of snow in the foreseeable future.  Today I noticed six new buds on my rose next the garage door.  Wrong!  Then the aspen trees caught my eye.  They are budding.  In November!  I want cold.  I want snow.  I want to need to wear my new chocolate  brown wool coat - even if I’m the only one who adores it.

Next year? I’m not having the sprinklers blown out, the screens pulled off the windows and the storm windows put on, or having the evaporative cooler winterized until at least Thanksgiving.  Or maybe Christmas.  No, better yet, maybe we just won’t do it at all!  Ha!  Stupid weather.
