Weathered

Apparently we are in a drought. Yep, California is in a drought (they are probably already rationing in the south) and we need rain. It rained for two days and then rained again last night. This morning? Covered in frost, the sun shining bright. Luckily the drought won’t affect us because we have well water. It’s not the greatest well water in the world but it’s better than having to ration! I like my hot showers and I don’t know how I’d go about shortening them.

I feel bad for the Little Lady on rainy days because instead of a regular school building they are all out-buildings (or so I call them). The classroom doors all lead outside so she has to walk in the rain from class to class. I don’t know why she doesn’t freeze her butt off during the days in the winter, but she deals with it quite nicely. Her umbrella keeps the rain off her head but she always comes home with soaked pants. The new coat she bought for herself has a really nice interior that keeps her warm, sometimes too warm. She does so much better with the cold than I do, but then again, she has at least 20 pounds on me (mostly muscle) and therefore has less issue with the changes in the weather.

I prefer the dryheat of the desert, but then the desert nights are cold due to no humidity. That is just too much cold for me as well. So here I am, in northern California where the frost laces the ground until about 9 or so in the morning, hoping that the sun warms up enough so I don’t freeze to death when I walk outside. What’s the weather like for you? Those of you out there that have snow, I do feel for you, I’m a former Ohioan!
