  1. I’m sure it beats being here (in NY state) this month too! We’ve had single digit temps for a few days in the mornings already this winter and a few more coming up later this week. That usually doesn’t happen until late January or February.

    1. Oh yes! We and my parents were on a trip to visit my cousins in the L.A. area; we flew out of Albany in a blizzard and landed in California to sunshine and 70 degree temperatures and flowers blooming.

    1. My parents have noted that whenever they come to visit us it usually starts raining the day before they arrive, keeps raining the entire time they’re here, and turns nice again the day they leave. It seems to be some kind of Californiaspiracy …
