Can you see that??...75!

I found out this winter that I am highly allergic to long, cold, snowy winters far from people. I love the ranch and all, but man, we are sure far from things. In the warmer months there is lots to do around the ranch...4wheelers, swimming, trampoline, etc, and people visit us all the time, so it's really fun...but when it's cold and there's 3 feet of snow on the ground...whew...can't really go anywhere cuz there is too much snow and ice, and by the time it melts the gas prices have gone so sky high that it costs $180 to fill up our fuel sucking 1999 suburban, which also happens to have an exhaust leak so we get either headaches or super silly from gas fumes so we can't even really go get the mail. (Whoa, was that a major run-on sentence, er what?) If you can't see in the picture I am trying to show the rearview mirror's temperature...it says 75 degrees. That's why I am smiling...because I love that temperature! However, I have noticed that here in Idaho, at least here at the ranch, in-the-70s is quite rare. It goes from chilly and windy in the low 60s to like 90. But I won't complain about the 90 degrees cuz I happen to love it! I love keeping the windows open in the day, and at night and listening to the creek and frogs and crickets. I love letting the kids get soaking wet and run barefoot. I love that the kids wear less clothes for me to have to wash and I love hanging the clothes outside to dry and the smell the clothes have when I bring them in...especially the sheets when I get to sleep on them crisp, freshly laundered in Tide and clothes lied dried! It's like smelly candy for me! Oh SUMMER!!!! Bring it on!!!!
