i want to hear the sound of winter
i just returned home from dropping Lily off at school on my bike and i am sweating
i think i got a tan
it will be high of eighty two degrees today
this would probably make a lot of you who live in cold weather happy but, when it is hot all year round, and it’s january and it is this hot, this does not make me happy
why is it that in the past years when we have chosen to spend the holidays in west virginia, miami got cold fronts of thirty degrees at night and this year since we chose to stay here in miami it has been hot?
murphy’s law i tell you
i am craving and missing everything winter
i want to see snow topped mountains
i want to see and touch icicles
i want to wake up with the prettiest of frost on my windows. like nature fairies stenciled them with doilies during the night
i want to spend time in a house that smells and sounds like a fire is burning
i want to hear the sound of snow crushing beneath my boots while walking through the woods
i want to breath cold air in and feel my brain wake up
i feel like my brain is turning into mush with all this heat. all year long
these are the times i feel like miami may still not be the place for me
every year it seems like it is getting hotter
and every year i despise it more and more
if you live somewhere cold, please oh please blow some cold my way….

If it’s any consolation, West Virginia is getting hotter every year, too.

Hi C,
I tried grabbing your button, but for some reason it won’t let me copy the code. I’ll try to do it again from my desktop–maybe it’s something with my laptop?
Anyway, I really like this post. I like hot weather, but I would miss cold weather, especially after living here in Chicago. Except we have no snow…and it’s not even that cold. It’s really odd.
Oh, and I saw you asked where in Florida I was during Christmas. It was St. Petersburg.

@Kelley,
let me know if the button gives you trouble, maybe it’s on my end? anyway, thanks for grabbing it. if miami had seasons, i think it would be the perfect place for me… but it doesn’t and year after year of just mostly heat is wearing on me. did you get a chance to go to the dali museum while in st. petersburg? it’s amazing!!!!!
