The best things in Life aren't things



Another Monday is here. I can't believe how the weather has changed today. It was snowing for a while earlier and then it was raining and now it's sunny and beautiful. But it's very cold out. I just went out to fill one of the bird feeders and couldn't believe the chill in the air. I am so ready for spring and warmer days. Having grown up in sunny Southern California I truly miss the sunshine after 3 or 4 months of the gray, foggy winter season here in Oregon. But when the sun does come out it is so beautiful because of all the shades of green here. And green is my favorite color. It makes me appreciate the fact that I live here now even though we have months of ugly weather. It doesn't get bitter cold here or rain terribly hard. Mostly we have gentle rains and no wind. I think I dislike the foggy days the most. I guess I am just glad that I can escape from time to time and drive to a better climate and enjoy the sun.

I love how your blog looks with all the shamrocks. I can't believe St. Patrick's Day is in 8 days. Time is sure flying. We have had some major rain storms here the last few days and the weatherman says it is not over yet. It is 41 right now and I think it is suppose to get up to the high 50's tomorrow but then back to freezing on Wednesday. I can't wait for Spring. Bring it on. LOL Hugs

There is no green here...the sun did come out a bit this afternoon, but it was chilly. Tomorrow we'll have rain so in a few weeks we may start greening up a little. The weather man says we may get more snow next week though. Your blog does look very nice with the shamrocks! 'On Ya'-ma

The weather is 72F here today and I am loving it. People are out and about and the wind is blowing. Life is good! However, tomorrow it is back to 52F. So, I will enjoy it while I can. I am looking forward to spring, but not summer. We have humidity something terrible in the Ohio Valley.

Having grown up just outside San Francisco, I think I miss the fog the most!
We're getting a little bit of rain now, but we've got a long ways to go before we see any green. :-(
