As you know, I'm a desert dweller. It's our high season.
So while most are digging out of snowbanks, Phoenicians are sporting boots and sweaters (whether we're sweating or not) to car shows, golf events and artwalks. Seriously, we're a goofy bunch. At church we see both flip flops and winter boots, shorts and sweaters. We have such a small window to wear cozy clothes and we try to squeeze them in whenever we see a few clouds on the horizon.
I'm sporting winter desktop wallpaper of snowy scenes to get a "winter feel" which works until I look out the window and see blue skies. It's beautiful hiking weather and patio time, though most of us have outside heaters or fire pits because the nights can drop 20-30 degrees.
Brrr... sweetie, come on over to my place...
The hummingbirds love the Christmas Cactus
I have on my patio.
For me January is a month of fresh starts and I love trying new things. It's when I have high hopes of improving every area of my life. Ha~ I make lists of goals and do a lot of dreaming. Realistically, I'm lucky if I can latch onto something that sticks. But that's okay. This January -- I ramped up the exercise. Pushed for burning more calories on the treadmill, and took a gentle yoga class with a friend.
One thing that happened that wasn't so good, my Pinterest account got hacked and somebody put up racy pins on my Amish boards. I ended up just deleting the whole board and hope those pics are not floating anywhere in cyberspace with my name on it!
Bookwise - I just finished some edits and am thinking about possible new book ideas.
Hey, if you have any, let me know.
Is it snowing your way?
What kinds of birds are in your yard? Have a winter feeder?
