I wish I were with my kids on the beach instead of stuck inside for the 3rd week in a row...I figure I'll really appreciate the spring instead of taking it for granted like I have in the past. <BR/><BR/>I love reading your blog. Not only does it remind me of sunny San Diego, but it makes me laugh every day.

It's up to +18 degrees. <BR/>WOO HOO! <BR/>On a side note, I can't tolerate this weather very much, either. But as my friend Ann Jay says, "Chicago 'ain't for sissies". <BR/>I just tolerate this cold because summer in Chicago is like no other. <BR/>Linda (Chicago)Rocco's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307683497207937904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-17977410373712762312009-01-20T10:01:00.000-06:002009-01-20T10:01:00.000-06:00I too am a Chicago resident - and I think the only...I too am a Chicago resident - and I think the only one who says bring it on - the cold and snow - I absolutely love it (and I love your blog too!). I am actually jealous of my niece in Wisconsin because she has so much more snow than we do here! If it werent for my love of gardening I would spend the entire summer indoors with the air conditioning blasting!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01102983893484718008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-57711626489841258882009-01-20T09:41:00.000-06:002009-01-20T09:41:00.000-06:00Linda: Oh yes, I noticed that the sign read NEGATI...Linda: Oh yes, I noticed that the sign read NEGATIVE 18 degrees.

I was raised in Honolulu, so moving to the mainland has been an adjustment for me. I initially lived in Kansas. Brrrr! Now I live in Dallas, TX. A mite better, but the winters can still be too cold for my liking. I'm happiest at 85 with a light breeze. But since I'm in Texas, I get more like 105 with a gale force wind in the summer. Ah well. I think I'd rather have that than even 45. Yes, I'm a weeney.AWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07976537861843058177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-9142701017747349282009-01-20T07:58:00.000-06:002009-01-20T07:58:00.000-06:00Hee!

Keep up the warm weather pictures so those of us who "enjoyed" the -20 temps last week (that is without the wind chill) can remember what sunshine looks like, and ground that is not covered with the awful white stuff! Your pictures give me hope that someday it will get up to freezing temperatures.<BR/><BR/>Of course, then we Chicagoland people will have disgustingly hot, sticky summers. But, heck - it's all part of the magic! :)<BR/><BR/>(It is officially not allowed to snow here anymore; I am out of places to put the snow from my driveway. No more snow until the two feet on the ground now have melted down somewhat. That's my final word.)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18423906776839279339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-48476162396731853452009-01-20T07:16:00.000-06:002009-01-20T07:16:00.000-06:00Please note that the bank temp said NEGATIVE 18 de...Please note that the bank temp said NEGATIVE 18 degrees.
