The photo made me smile when I found it. Not only because I had a photo, but because our house came through the hurricane with no big damage.Jo Ann Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11491778477905043300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-23507171773887974322018-01-06T12:06:47.281-08:002018-01-06T12:06:47.281-08:00But cats gain weight by the ton when they lie on t...But cats gain weight by the ton when they lie on top of the blankets.

I laughed when I read about you visiting London before snow. We'd planned a trip there a few years ago (got an amazing package), and it snowed!

It was written by a woman traveling in Pakistan or somewhere in that vicinity and she was talking about the measure of cold being based on how many dogs you needed to keep you warm. So last night as our wind chill dipped into negative numbers, I was thinking that we only had one dog to and he seemed as cold as we were.Cate Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424872139114718902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-74981757962839848142018-01-05T11:43:34.504-08:002018-01-05T11:43:34.504-08:00My mother would have loved your teapot collection....My mother would have loved your teapot collection.

I remember in college I took an Astronomy class (which requires lots of Physics) and they said that in about 15,000 years, Christmas will be held in the summertime. I have a degree in History and am aware that the Sahara Desert once was a green, flourishing area with great bodies of water. Seasons definitely change, yet we are so surprised when it happens to our communities. I suspect it's because we have such short life spans. It kind of makes me sad that we only get to live 70-90 years if we're so blessed. See? You got me going on this topic. But I love the teapot collection and your yard is so pretty. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954010395169578816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-7530196171812268572018-01-05T09:09:39.488-08:002018-01-05T09:09:39.488-08:00Hi J Ann, interesting fact about Three Dog Night. ...Hi J Ann, interesting fact about Three Dog Night. Here in the PNW we’ve had a mixed bag of weather. Freezing temp, mild and rainy, and days sunny and warm enough for a only a sweater. Great teapot collection. I collect tea cups and saucers. I too enjoy reading books set in tropical places and warmer weather when it’s cold out. And winter book during summer. I always thought I was a bit odd. Yay I’m not.

With our recent overnight temps, though, I'd have to be buried beneath several big, furry dogs in order to keep warm.
