We have two Seasons out here,

Summer
and
Almost Summer

When they've predicted 0 degrees and 8-12 inches on the ground by morning where I grew up with, I remain grateful to be in the Sunshine state.

Snowflakes on my eyelashes and idyllic scenes of deer next to the tree line only go so far. Ya gotta own an ice scraper, leather gloves, buy antifreeze, a shovel, and get used to salted roads eating out the bottom of your car every year.

Oh yeah, and a new pair of snow boots every year which never seem to keep out the cold are a necessity.

I thought our seasons were Tourist, and off Peak!

Anyway, My fruit trees are in bloom, roses and hydrangeas are in bloom, and it is almost summer here in Orange County.
