Last week the citrus trees all came into bloom. The scent is incredible, the blossoms beautiful. It's been the typical Palm Springs winter, which feels a lot like spring. But a few days ago we got lots and lots of wind. I was worried that the blossoms would blow away. Then it began to rain and the temperatures dropped unexpectedly. Now the mountains are white and we are possibly taking about a twenty minute drive tomorrow so Orion can play in some snow.Okay, so we can play in the snow too.
I hope it doesn't get so cold that we lose our citrus, but still, this is really weird and well, sort of fun.
So far, Orion looks pretty non-plussed. We may be back to spring tomorrow. Who knows?
Of course I'm swamped and can't afford to take any more snow days. But for once, I may take a snow day without flying across the continent. I should, um, probably grab this one if it comes around.
I'll let you know.

Take it and enjoy it!!!
I too hope the weird weather doesn't adversely effect crops, plants, trees, etc.
Normally, I would say that we'd send you a couple of our snow days, being as we live in Maine. But we've had a bizarrely snow-less winter this year, and maybe a weeks-span that I can remember that there was even visible snow on the ground for more than a day. We've not even been able to go sledding! And its mid-March!
So, yes, ENJOY your snow day. The planet may actually be freaking out a bit. So get 'em while they're cold.
What exactly is he plotting? Is the human race about to subjugated to the will of Orion or what?
