Hmm... I poured my heart out in a long post about personal troubles, but then decided there's enough of that in this world. So instead, hmm....

What's the weather like where you are? California has been unseasonably warm and then kinda cool, and them blazing hot... pick a season, California!

Is it like that elsewhere?

Hot and dry.

Hot and dry.

Did I mention it's hot and dry? And expected to be that way for a long time. No rain - we'll have wildfires this year aplenty and probably water rationing. Sigh. No wonder I'm moving!!!!!

A beautiful sunny morning, going to be a nice day here, with a bit of a breeze and sun.  The temperature should be in and around 70-72 degrees today.

I like that too. Reminds me of one of my favorite lines from the band X:

"Flying over the dateline,
the days change to night,
change in an instant."

Well, it's kinda cool again today. This stupid state is wreaking havoc with my health.

I'm in PA and the weather is.. insane.

This year we have had more tornado watches than I can ever remember having before.

Yesterday it was so cold the heavier jackets came out.  It was hailing, sunny, cloudy and then storming again in the span of 45 min.

Today it was beautiful again.   I wish mother nature would pick a season and stick with it already *chuckles*

Well..the heat and lack of rain has caught up with Arizona. Five hundred (plus) acres are burning near Prescott. Right now at least 5 homes have burned, one person has been burned and hundreds evacuated...and we have no forecast of rain in the near future.

Sigh...it's going to be a long summmer.

Another Michigan weighing in here...yes, Today was beautiful...around 70 but I think thats all the spring we'll get for a while....
its supposed to be rainy and chilly tomorrow and Friday........and...................
this weekend we are supposed to have 30 degree nights and maybe even SNOW!!!

I'm so glad that all of my plants are still in pots on the deck where I can just bring them inside easily.

Lone Wolf...do you ever wonder why you live in Michigan?  I know that I do until it becomes summer.....we have lovely summers here.

Here in the "not so flat" lands, Mike, it was a beautiful day, i.e.  no wind!!
(The bloody wind tore my flag right out of its moorings recently.)
Today I saw elk, antelope, and deer in the low hill country; beaver, wild geese and sandhill cranes along the river, and wild horses and prairie dogs in the Red Desert. It is definitely springtime in the rockies.

In Texas we have a saying ... "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute."  Soooo, by the time I tell you what the weather is like, it will have changed.

Right this moment is it hot and muggy.

I've always found it fascinatin' to talk about weather -- it's kind of a poem of the moment. If you can follow my convoluted reasoning: the weather changes in an instant, but while it's there, it seems like that's just how it is. And it's a flash-frame moment, kinda like a poem is a flash-frame moment of your mind at the time of writing.

ANYWAY, I'm jealous of some of you guys! It sounds like there's some good weather mixed in with the bad, and even animal sightings. The only animal sightin's here are the birds in the roof, the squirrels on the trees, the dogs in the yard, the stray cat I feed next door -- no elk or antelope or anythin' like tha'. That's awesome fr you guys.

Today's all cold again. California, make up yr mind.

Well, I'm about to visit my girlfriend in Calgary, and -- gasp -- IT'S SNOWING OVER THERE AGAIN!

I think California boy is going to jinx the weather for Calgary girl. This should be an interesting blizzard.

Here in Idaho the weather has been turbulent. Can't figure out what it wants to do. I left for Portland and it was beautiful during the day and rainy at night. Got off the plane in Boise and it was pouring buckets. Go figure.

Chris doesn't like rain 'cause it makes his mascara run.



(I don't like rain either, but at least I wear waterproof mascara!)
