Seasons Change (Guest Post)

I'm still on my beach vacation and Cathy Has Antsy Pants has agreed to do a guest blog. If you haven't been to her site, please stop by.

When Deb asked if I wanted to guest post I was all over it. But then, of course, I had to figure out what to write about?!?

So, I thought, her title is Web Savvy Mom, maybe I could write about being web savvy; I can perform a Google search with the best of 'em and have figured out enough HTML to design my own blog, but I don't know that I'd really consider myself savvy.  Or, is it savy, Deb?

But then I remembered that we talk (via email, of course) about the weather a lot. She makes fun of me for living in Minnesota and I get jealous of her living on the coast. It's a win-win situation.....for her. So today you get to hear about the weather.

One thing Deb told me was that she doesn't even own an ice scraper! What the hell crap is that all about? I go through one a season. She also doesn't wear snow boots to and from work. I have three pairs. Check it out, I just got these for Christmas this year. That's right, we give boots as Christmas gifts in these parts.



Throw in some down filled mittens and a hand-made scarf and you've got yourself a killer present!

Any good Minnesotan knows that you always keep a pair of extra boots in the trunk, just in case your commute home looks like this:



You never know when you'll go sliding into the ditch.

Let me assure you, it doesn't snow here every month. We have beautiful summers that give us views like this:



In July and August temps can reach into the 100's. Fall usually gives us nice crisp days and spring brings lots of rain and mud. We love our seasons, but we'll complain about them to whoever will listen!

So, if you ever run into a Midwesterner, just bring up the weather and let them talk, you'll be instant best friends.
