Sandy,
Laughing! We're taking Christmas lights down tomorrow afternoon because it's going to be the warmest day that it isn't raining.
We can sometimes fly a kite in March. April is my big wah! It turns cold and wet.
So right. Once March hits there's no turning back!! Besides, the garden catalogs are rolling in and I need to look at the new batch.
Greene,
YES! We have passed the short days!!
Jean,
A lot of insects can slow their metabolism, or have antifreeze in their veins. It's why so many survive unless it gets super cold.
Mosquitoes? I would think they would die!
I might complain a little about the weather, but truthfully, I like having 4 seasons. It gives me something to look forward to and time to deal with things I need to do when it's cold. If it was warm I'd be outside all the time.
