Best of all . . .it's WARM. I mean, TROPICAL. The cover has a sunrise and palm fronds. It's been cold, Cold, COLD here in Western NY since November.
I have been bundled up since October.
The calendar says we have four more weeks of winter, but let's be honest,it isn't going to be warm until at least May (around here, anyway), and I'll still be wearing sweatshirts until June. Then suddenly, it'll be too hot for three months.
Mr. L says we should've moved to San Diego where the weather is fine all year. But we're stuck here in Western NY and I don't think we're going anywhere else.
Where would you live if you could afford to move/live anywhere? (I'm thinking England, which can be just as raw. Go figure!)
Even though I love living in New England, I am a 4th-generation Californian. I dream (sometimes) of living in an old orange grove about 10 miles inland from the Pacific somewhere in the greater Ventura/Santa Barbara area. Have a big organic garden. Wear sandals all year round. Go to the beach or the mountains easily. Sigh.

When (and if) my husband sells his business, we will move because our rural home is getting to be too much for us to care for, and I know we'll move closer to the ocean because we both miss it here in PA. So why do I dream of living in Chicago near the lake? Well, it has everything I want and need -- except good weather. Go figure! (Is there an echo in here?)
ReplyDeleteWe to Arizona from Ohio four years ago, and I love it here! Yes, we stay year round and no, the summers are not unbearable.

ReplyDeleteI'm with you, babe! WARM is where it's at. Yes, San Diego's weather is supposed to be good all year 'round, but no one mentioned the May-haze, June-gloom. *sigh* We took our vacation there a few years ago and (after the June-gloom) was chased away by the sun mid-afternoon, it wasn't bad. (What am I saying, it was glorious!!) But expensive. I'd very much like to move away from NJ (too crowded, too expensive, and, too ... NJ). I'd also like to live by water (the ocean? hurricanes!!), and where it's warm but not scorching. Maybe northern part of South Carolina? Friends say it's beautiful. And affordable. H'mm. Gotta be better than here! Right? :-)
