You'd think that we here in the Netherlands would be able to relate, but not nowadays, with climate change. However, I must say that our "winter" thus far is already feeling colder than what I've experienced these last 10 years. Maybe we, too, will be seeing a "new normal" from years gone by?Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-32719365947434668822019-11-21T21:14:26.120-08:002019-11-21T21:14:26.120-08:00I like the winter, but I don't really care for...I like the winter, but I don't really care for the short days.

We've been winter for a bit now and already adjusted. Although this weekend we're having a heat wave, or so I hear. It'll be around 4C here. Break out the bathing suits and the sun screen. It's gonna be a hot one this weekend. It's funny when 40F/4C feels like a heatwave.
