Rain

I live in California and we have been hit with continual storms and rain for weeks. It was finally sunny a couple of days ago, I went outside and was in shock...I was confused for a few seconds by the blue skies....I wondered what they were! ROTFL. I don't handle cold very well either. I lived in Montana for 7 years and hated the winters there. The best day of my life was the day I boarded the plane and returned to California! When I get cold here I remind myself of the horrible winter days in the snow and below zero weather. When it rains here I curl up in my family room with the wood burning stove blazing and work on teddy bears. (I design and make teddy bears to augment my income) I end up with cats snoozing beside me on the couch and my dogs sleeping at my feet. I occasionally look outside but not often. The past month and a half it seems like every time I look outside there is another 200 year old oak tree that fell over. The most recent one is the one in my back yard...it took out about 12 feet of chain link fence. It was a 300 foot tall tree and I was SO lucky that it fell away from the house. One thing I do to keep the house warmer is put blankets over the windows to help keep more of the heat in. It's a trick I learned in Montana...the drapes and curtains are fine but in the winter they need more help, so I break out the blankets.... I keep them over the windows permanently in rooms that I don't use much, it helps keep the heat in or out depending on the time of year. It's supposed to get up to 70 degrees....yesterday it was only 64. I'm still waiting for some warm weather! Hope it warms up in your part of the world soon! Hugs Toni

I also don't like rain in cold.I feel scary about cold and never go out during rain in cold.

There are chances that it will rain here, but who knows with Arizona haha it is stubborn sometimes.
