I heat the swimming pool and swim almost every night. I am eating my own home grown tomatoes. Oranges are great, grapefruit is wonderful and the lemons are now ready to enjoy. I love these kind of winters. :0) When it gets too hot off to the cabin in the woods of Oregon.

Kids don't usually play outside in 30 below wind chills. Kids around here play in the morning before it gets hot and then in the evening when it cools off. We can at least go outside early and late and enjoy the day. Back in Illinois, you don't venture out at all during those months unless you like the cold and ice. I can still enjoy my days as I am an early riser and the mornings and evenings here were gorgous! You just to in the Air conditioning when it gets hot. Beats the winters in Illinois where you didn't go out for weeks if the ground was covered with ice or snow and it was too cold. Almost every day last summer we sat outside and just enjoyed the evening. That was in July and August. Can't do that in Illinois.
