| - What is not to love ?? I have been living my winter's here since 2012.
I didn't realize i was a sun-bird (until Fred F.pointed it out to me, I miss Fred!!) and the title fits ..
As a native of the east coast for 45 yrs freezing my tukhus off, i can attest to the fact that to be out and about in December is a beautiful thing, no doldrums of blah,blecky gray skied weather, just smiling sunshine raining down upon me. My car looks shiny and salt free, and the nightmare of black ice is just a bad memory .
I won't lie and say i don't miss wearing my mink coats(from Oct-Mar) ,and that the holiday season here takes some getting used to (only because i equate cold with Christmas tree's and decorations) still, trading in my minks in Dec.for super cool Pashmina's and cute capelettes wasn't that hard to do ...and what native Phoenicians find freezing temps here at night ,i find to be a cozy just right chill that is totally bearable to walk around in, and sleeping ..mmmm ,just right !
And not for nothing ,but ..Saguaro's decked out in lights is simply gorgeous !
And if i ever find myself longing for a little more nip in the air or snow ...well ,that's what a ski weekend in Vail is for ....
Love it !
