Baby, it's cold outside...

It has been freezing (literally) down here in Southern California.  I must say it is a welcome change.  We don't really get seasons down here, so it is kind of riveting to step outside and feel the bite.  It has been refreshing and adds a bit of an edge to the day that we don't often have.  I know that our mere 31-35 degrees is downright balmy to other parts of the country, but we are only able to relate within our own contrasts, right?  This is cold (COLD!) for a beach girl like me.  I welcome your rare visit Mr. Winter, stay awhile and we'll have tea!
