Summer Breezes

I've been sloshing around in wet, cold parking lots all week, running those Christmas errands that never seem to quite end.

The weather has been bitter.

So I just need to remember for a little bit....

that this exists...not here...but it was once here... and God willing will be again...

...oh and this...yes...feel the summer vibes...

...one more before we go back to cold and white......GREEN...I love the color green.

I miss it.

I'm with Lily who said to me on the way to preschool (with snowpants, boots, mittens, hat, ski jacket...), "Mom...do we have to live here?  I want to live where it's warm."

"Well maybe someday you can live in Florida, and I'll come live with you in the winter," I said.

"Florida!" she said..."No WAY!  I'm living in 'Hawowie'"   (That's how she says Hawaii, and I'm never ever ever going to correct her.  It's too funny.)  Hawowie...here we come!
