Living in the southwest desert..... well, there are no snow days, no bundling up with lots of quilts and cats, not a lot of hot chocolate going around....
Have been trying to embrace living in the desert most of my adult life and it is just getting harder and harder....
You know it is bad when you spend over an hour watching a live stream of snow falling in Queens, New York on Youtube.... Yep, that's right.
It also seems silly to me that I create blankets and shawls. I quilt, sew and crochet..... but I hardly ever get to use them. It just does not get cold enough.
I used to make jewelry..... I do not wear jewlery...
Am I just crazy? Ask my hubby and he will give you a big fat YES! ha.
So with January almost gone.... I get a little sad. It means that we are on a warming trend. Okay.... I will get real.... for me it is SUPER sad..... it just did not get cold enough and now it is going to start warming up....Oh boy!
But I will not give up the good fight... I will continue to make and create quilts, afghans and prayer shawls....
Just can't stop...

If I could bottle up the cold and snow, I would send it on to you gladly. You keep doing what makes you happy.
ReplyDeleteAwww... You are always so encouraging! I wish you could bottle it up and send it our way! We have been lucky though and have had some really grey and rainy weather... did me some good!
DeleteI moved to the Southwest from the U.P,. of Michigan. The last year I lived in MI we had over 200" of snow! We had to shovel the banks before we shoveled the walks. Took me a while to get over my loss of green and still miss the autumn colors but have decided I really love the desert for it's own beauty. I have never had to shovel sunshine and if I really feel like I want some cold, I guess I can take a short trip to the north country. I do love to watch the snow the few times we've had it where I live. When I had kids at home, we would head up the mountain behind us and play in the snow. It's been enough for me to truly fall in love with being a desert rat.
ReplyDeleteKatie I cannot even imagine 200 inches of snow! Even for a snow lover like me that would send me off looking for better weather for sure! Sounds like you have a some great memories with your kids!
DeleteOh my, and here I am dreaming of warm weather. ;-)
ReplyDeleteKathy - I completely understand! My sister lives in the Great Lakes area and she is already so sick of the snow!!! She wants sun, warmth and green grass.
