Although we have had a few tooth-chattering days here in Camelot, it still somehow feels like summer. I have almost forgotten that Virginia has a temperate climate but still boasts the four seasons.
But here it comes January and I never finished retrieving winter clothes and never packed away bathing suit or shorts. First of all, it stayed warm enough for cooler garb than sweaters.
And for a true weather guage there is always my curly-er and frizzy-er hair which usually only happens during the muggy days of summer. I suppose winter frizz is due to a mountain version of seaside dampness. Who knew?
And those lazy hazy days are here again and I am sweating (not whistling) while I work.
This sleeping beauty is also doing a bit more tossing and turning on over heated body-warmed sheets.
This morning there was a summer-like drizzly rain with no coat necessary – just short sleeves for dog walking.
The stink bugs are happy and back in plague mode too, accompanied by a competitive lady bug infestation.
I am confused. Should I switch the heatpump to “cool”? Should we re-open the outdoor pool?
Feeling a chill where you are? Virginia may be just the place to go for the excitement of an off-season-summer.
