The weather has been weird...I know we are in a "new normal" so to speak...

But it's hard to think that we've gotten nearly twice the rain we normally do in winter...my snow crocus started blooming in January....my daffodils are nearly finished, and now I see the Virginia Bluebells are up and nearly blooming at the beginning of March!


I always look forward to the neighborhood's ornamental plums --

Criminy....the heat and lack of rain lately! I have the house in 'weather protocol' -- whenever the temp hits single digits (Fahrenheit) or upper 98 / 100, my old house gets hard to cool and heat. So I close all the blinds throughout the house.

The weather calls for potentially 100+ in a day or 2. And today, it hit 90 before 11AM!

I actually hate being in a closed up house, preferring to have all the blinds open all the time -- so typically they are always open (privacy not too much of an issue because of the design and layout of the house).

Early today, got a walk in the park with a friend -- nice to see him after all this time! And a nice walk of a few miles.

The HEAT...omg!

I was in Mexico at a high elevation, where the nightly low was upper 50s F, and the high in the day was 75F. And I came back to Virginia to a high of 99F and today 100F!

I just took a shower, and I DIDN'T NEED TO USE ANY HOT WATER! All cold water, except the water in is so warm that it felt fine!

I stuck a thermometer outside on the deck in the shade at 3pm -- a tad over 100F (~37.7C)
