As I'm sitting here in the sunroom with my laptop, I just noticed a gentle breeze along with the wonderful scent of lilacs from the secret garden outside. It made me think of the thread that comes up from time to time called something like "this weather is awful" and how this day must qualify as the exact opposite... I think it's so nice it deserves a new thread.
In Wisconsin we have plenty of crummy weather. It's mostly the cold and snow that seems to go on way to long, robbing us of our well-deserved spring. But with days like today, it reminds me that maybe we have difficult winters so we truly appreciate the nice days. Today is mid-70s, mostly sunny, low humidity... a "stroll around the yard in your shorts with a gin and tonic" kind of day. I'm not even going to let all the weeds bother me.
I struggle with whether we should move to a place after retirement where we could enjoy this kind of weather throughout the year. But maybe we wouldn't appreciate it as much when the nice weather comes. And then there's the issue of leaving friends and family and all the other issues that go along with such a decision.
For now, I think I'll just relax and enjoy the day... but maybe it's time to move it on out to the patio... better grab my sunglasses.
