Self portrait. It is APRIL 19, 2008! Any other year, it would be Easter weekend - heck it was this cold Easter weekend this year, what am I thinking? The cold, it is affecting my brain. (The Shepherd wants to know what I'm talking about - he says I wasn't outside long enough to get cold - I say The Shepherd is a blabbermouth)As you can see, there is a cherry tree in full bloom behind me. But what is that thing on my head? (why it is my Sheepskin Tie-on Earmuff - Wool Tie-On Earmuffs - "For those who want more than an earmuff and less than a hat, this is perfect. Fashionable, yet cozy and warm. This ties under the chin or around the back of your head. One size fits all. Available Gold, Black, and White." - Best $30 I ever spent!)
Why do I look like I am dressed for the Arctic Circle? A winter coat OVER a fleece vest? Because it is COLD out - Because it is "See your breath cold" out. It is not supposed to be 36 degrees on April 19th - It's just not natural.
Ok, so I'm a wimp - HOWEVER, I should be glad that we did not have 11 inches of snow like they did down between Everett and Seattle. Yikes - Global warming, my backside... we could do with a little of that global warming here in the Pacific NW - maybe I'll email Al Gore and ask how we get on the list for a little of that warming around here... Ha, ha, ha...

Well, that's part of the Global Warming thing...too much of some things, not enough of the other. We've been having wind, wind, wind! Soon, the moms and babies will have to go together and get used to each other, but we haven't been able to keep them outside for too long as the wind chills have been awful.
And I love the picture of Y-O-U! :)
You know, Tina...any other year it would be ME having the snow! (Although we did get to 17 F the other night)
Hugs from the Blustery SW!!!
We're having the same weather as you - cold and blustery. We just drove back from the Bay Area, where it's also cold and blustery, but the trees are in blossom and the flowers are blooming. I know our turn is coming and it will be all the sweeter.
I'll send you some of our weather, which has bee very pleasant. Sadly our summers are always hot, with or without global warming.
