Baby it's warm outside.....
Who the heck hijacked Maryland and moved us to South Carolina last week? It's 55 degrees and it's only 9:00 AM - and it's one week before Christmas! The weekend was beautiful, but it was hardly December-like.
The grass is green, and in fact, it needs to be mowed for Christ's sake. The rose bush in my neighbor's yard is still blooming, and I expect to see daffodils start peaking up any day now, and it's not even officially winter.
It's very hard to feel festive when you don't even have to wear a jacket to work, and the Salvation Army guy ringing the bell in front of the grocery store yesterday was wearing a T-shirt.
True, it is impossible to feel festive right now, but I must say the beautiful weather makes me feel really cheerful. No doubt in January there will be lots of awful snow.
But I can't work on my car(s) in SNOW...
