TO PERFECT PAWS, - CARLA

Right now in Massachusetts I am absolutely freezing! Shivering uncontrollably and under a blanket! In the fall, I work at a farm and sell pumpkins and other Halloween things, and I give pumpkin rides. Today I could see my breath in the air. It was sooo cold!

Daisy's Mom - Perhaps this isn't the kind of pumpkin ride you meant, but ... when I read your message, I immediately thought of the pumpkin carriage from Cinderella! Do you get some of Daisy's fur friends to help pull the coach? I picture Daisy at your feet keeping them warm! What a fun fall day that would be!

Good luck with juggling all your school and activities! Tell Daisy its her turn to do the homework this week!

[Daisy's Mom]

LOL oops! PONY rides! Sorry, I am totally out of it!

Your Welcome Doggiemom... I wnated to do something nice for them.. I should do that more often! Say "Hi" to your beautiful girls for me! Hugs & Kisses, from Sadie! And, stay cool!

I have been freezing the last week and a half the highs have been in the lower 60's and lows in upper 40's adn lower 50's. I hate the cold. I love hot weather

Bridget you were up late when you posted that so you are excused! My fingers can't even find the keyboard at 12:09 a.m.

You guys are all so funny. Right now it is 100 degrees and windier than heck!! WOW! The entire city is covered in dust.... it actually looks cloudy because of all the dust in the air from all the farms and desert areas. YUCK!

I grew up in MN and remember shoveling the snow off of the sidewalks and driveway. Then our snowplow would come thru and make that nice big ridge of snow blocking our driveway again.... that sucked. I ice skated all day every day at our park where they froze over a huge section. It had a warming house with hot chocolate and everything. I miss that. Now I have to go to Polar Ice to skate but it's still fun and a great way to cool off here in the summer time !

Here in Mid Ohio it was 35 degrees last night, and about 55 degrees today. But we have a beautiful fall. Today was so pretty and clear. To bad I had to work all weekend!!
ICK!

Oh Angel - I am so jealous! I love the hot weather! And no humidity... how perfect! Actually, perfect to me is about 85 to 90 degrees, and low humidity.
I live not-too-far from Staci, so I am also living with some near-freezing overnight temps over the last couple of weeks - yes, we turned our furnace on already! And then we get a couple days in the 70's, and sleep with the windows open. This is probably why I, and half the people at work, have a cold right now. sniff, sniff.
My husband will be finsihing up his PhD soon, and he's been looking to see where there are teaching jobs available. I have been nixing all the east coast and northern posts. I keep pushing New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, etc. Get us away from these never-ending Ohio winters!

Talking about the weather - its been unseasonably hot here in Utah lately but it's suppose to cool off. I've been doing my snow praying all summer long in hopes that this winter we'll all need sled dogs to get to work - I love the snow - bring it on soon PLEASE!!!!!

[Daisy's Mom]

You want snow? I'll send some down to you! We'll be getting some soon

Although tomorrow is going to be eighty degrees! One last day of shorts!!

[purrley]

Daisy - I really do want snow - hopefully we'll have some of our own really soon. And by the way I just want you to know that your sweet Bassett is the cutest. You must love her so much

[Daisy's Mom]

Thank you so much purrley!!!

I'll be sure to send you some snow. We certainly get plenty. Last year, a week before my birthday and the week after Christmas vacation, we had 3 days off right in a row because of a huge blizzard! It was the most exciting time ever! Almost the whole state was declared in a state of emergency. I had so much friends. All m y friends qho lived nearby had a party at my best friend's house down the street and we watched old movies and made hot cocoa! Those three days will be some of my best memories. Although I do get sick of snow by March, I must say that I will never move away from the northeast because of snow days. That feeling that you get when you see your school flash up on the TV's cancellation page... it's just an indescribable, wonderful feeling! I can never take that away from my kids!

Daisy's mom, you said it!! Growing up in Indiana, I always would pray for school cancellation any time the "scent" of snow was in the air. I admit that kids that don't get to experience snow days are missing out! LOL LOL After moving here to the silicon valley, I was really homesick for Indiana. I couldn't believe that a place couldn't have "weather!"! LOL No thunder storms at night...no changing of seasons...(we have 2 seasons out here...wet and dry)no smell of autumn in the air...no snow days!! LOL But, I think I have adjusted. It's been 2 years now, and I'm really getting spoiled with the lack of humidity and lack of bugs (you can actually open a window or a door and nothing will fly in!)! It's cool in the mornings, warm in the afternoons, and cool again in the evenings. I would say it's like a perpetual fall (or spring) temp wise Plus (sorry to anyone who is a smoker on the board!!), there is no smoking in restaurants, bars, bowling alleys...etc.!!! I can actually breath wherever I go out here(I'm allergic to smoke)! It's great!! Really, the only bad thing about this area is the traffic and cost of living (it was on the news today that the Bay Area has the most expensive cost of living by way of apartments...ugh).

Purrley and Daisy's mom, I miss Snow so much. Here in Texas we never get Snow just Ice. Well, actually we got about 1/2 inch of real Snow last Year for abot 2 Hrs.
