Misfitmorgan's Journal - That Summer Dust

[misfitmorgan]

Nah...used to be like that here when I was growing up and I loved it all the same. Had to work out in it and walk a mile to bus stop in it, up hill and down, and though it was uncomfortable, it was still lovely all the same. Used to start snowing in Oct. and snow stayed on and was still falling in April. I've had to watch July fireworks while wearing a winter jacket. Used to live where the snow actually buried our house to the eaves and we had to dig a tunnel to climb out and slide into the house. Still love the snow!

Oh as a kid I loved it too.....as an adult is when it wore off. That and the -47F days are a trial. We got our first snow on Oct 30th and we always have one last snow/ice storm after mothers day so May something.

This was dinner last night....Jerk chicken with jasmine rice and seasoned black beans, it was so good

That looks super tasty. We have some black bean and sirloin chili going in the instant pot.

No thanks....I generally live where I LOVE to live. If I didn't love to live here, no matter the season or reason, I'd move. Never did understand why folks insist on living where they hate the weather for 6 mo. out of the year.

I love Texas! Specifically, I love East Texas!! 6 months of snow? We don't even get 6 days of snow.

I lived and worked in Michigan for 3 years in the mid 70's and loved it but I was in my 20's and used to hard labor. That was in Flint and Brighton and I loved the fishing and hunting there but it's much easier now that i can stay thawed out in Tennessee.

You know, I rarely ever hear southern folks complain about the heat. But, in my state and further north everyone seems to dread winter...and we don't even HAVE the winters we used to have anymore. I keep hoping for them every year but each year they get more and more mild. Not sure what they'd do if we had a winter like we used to get......I keep hoping we will so folks will appreciate what they have now. Used to we never saw the ground until May and even then some pathways and roads didn't melt off until June. Now we are lucky if we get a snow that sticks or lasts past a few days.

I would love to move but until my parents estate is taken care of I'm stuck here...second problem is employment in another state at or near my current pay is not likely. We do want to move we just have to wait. I was here for my family now with my mom dying in May and my dad dying in september not much reason. I moved back when my real dad got ill, then my mom found a tumor on hr breast, then my brother killed himself, then my mom was trying to fight cancer with natural methods, then she died, my step-dad had a drop-dead heart attack in september with no warning. So yeah as much as I hate it here I couldn't abandon my family during all of that. We will probly be stuck here for another couple of years to get things in order to sell our house then move down someplace south, not sure where yet.

My sister-in-law lives in flint and complains about how cold it is everytime she comes up here. Flint is usually 15-20F warmer and with a lot more rain instead of snow. For me the older I get the more I hurt and the more I dis-like the cold and snow...DH is starting to agree a lot.

I recall many posts of people down south complaining of the heat..esp the last week or two because its still in the 80s and 90s

I dunno I don't think any place is ever perfect for weather all the time, I just want something more middling on temps.
