Well the weather has been a might bit manic lately going from one high down to an uncomfortable low. The first of spring brought its welcoming warmth. Even with temperatures that were seasonally higher than normal, there was nothing to complain about. The allergens where a little higher but one could wear shorts and find comfort in the changing of the seasons. Apparently it wasn’t all great because Mother Nature turned around and bellowed her concerns with winds that could knock down a grown person. I mean she just wouldn’t let up. This caused a huge amount of evaporation to my Koi Pond, which I mistaken for a massive leak. It’s not fun getting in water that has not warmed up to its proper temperature yet, but I’m not complaining. Maybe the wind blew all those nasty allergens far, far away. I can hope. I know it contributed to the idiocracy of some mentally deficient individuals that thought burning trash during such wind in drought conditions was a good idea. These people were able to burn through their communities faster than a politician can increase the deficit, but I am not complaining. Somehow we all adjust to sharing our oxygen with people that could be better off donating their use to the rain forest. When the wind decided to settle down I would have hoped that we were back on track to warm spring weather, but Nature Girl developed a cold shoulder after airing her troubles. These lower temperatures became somewhat uncomfortable, but you know me I wouldn’t complain. My arthritis screamed louder than Ebenezer Scrooge looking for a missing lump of coal, but you did not hear a whimper from me. No, my heart went out to my friends further north who were actually getting snow. Why they don’t have the intelligence of Texas to live outside of frigid waste lands is beyond me. Perhaps it’s in the water. Today, I had to go do some grocery shopping and yes I found it a little cool, with a breeze that made it feel darn cold at times, but I’m not complaining. We all need such diversity in our lives and this weekend it should be back in the upper 80s. Today as I was out doing my chores I passed a Walgreens. I paused for a moment when I took a look at the temperature. Here is a picture of just what I saw. So you can understand how I felt... Now I’m complaining!
