Weather
After spending 20 years in Alaska, weather takes on a personality all its own and I tried to bring that into my stories. Here in the Midwest, where we are now, we find it all confusing. The rules have all changed and the moods of the systems are vastly different. I remember when we first went to Alaska, the weather kept surprising us. It is doing the same thing again, only this time it is more of a toothless old woman wanting to be your friend.
Yesterday was warm enough for shirtsleeves, in November! Today it is light sweater weather. At this point I go out on the porch before I dress for the day. You can never be sure if you are going to need the heat or the air conditioner. Silly, silly weather, make up my mind please.
