It's the middle of April
and look where I am.
That's right, sitting in front of a fire. A fire! It has been so cold today. It even snowed (very lightly but still).
I know this might be normal for some parts of the country, but this is Arizona and mountains or not, this is not right. Not right at all. I'm a valley girl, born and raised, and you can bet my frozen flip flopped feet that being cold in April is not my idea of fun.
I traded swimming pools for fireplaces, sweat for shivers, flip flops for... well I haven't exactly given up the flip flops (dumb I know).
I know the grass is always greener on the other side, but I really miss being warm. I want to be roasting in the hot sun right now. Of course if I did find myself roasting in the hot sun I'd probably start wishing for a trip to the mountains to cool off.
What fickle creatures we humans are.
Well at least I have fire. That's something to be grateful for.

P.S.
You must excuse the hair. It was soooo windy today (I mean crazy Wizard of Oz windy) that I decided, "What's the point?"
What's the point indeed.

well im in the "hot hot desert" and its freakin cold here too! your not missing out, we had snow flurries!! WHA? its April for crying out loud..
I feel like I am sitting infront of the fire of life as I am sure you do too! Except I am not feeling warm today! Where is the Spring in life?
Amen, sista! It snowed about 2 inches over here! Ack!
AMEN! It's my kid's spring break and we woke up to at least 6 inches of snow!! I miss the Arizona desert!
If it makes you feel any better, it was FREEZING down here in the valley too! The wind was crazy and cold! I think it was like 67 or something. So sitting at a track meet I was frozen. I did however still sleep with my windows open. I hope today is a better day for both of us!
I hear you! There was a heavy frost on everything this morning, for goodness sake! I'm ready for some heat!
its only 65 and its 2 in the afternoon I turned back on my heater today. I wish it was either hot or cold not both i keep turning on my a/c cause its too hot upstairs then a week later i turn on the heater cause its too cold but i don't miss the Snowflake Spring Wind
It was finally sunny today in Atlanta, finally, but I still needed a sweater & now I have on a heavy robe. It LOOKS like spring, but to me so far it's been just a big tease. I'm a Ariz valley girl like my daughter.
