I was talking to my husband about the odd change in weather, and we're both thinking before long the US's seasons will be flipped. Being back in Michigan, it was beyond weird not having much snow. I went and bought my daughter snow pants, and she wore them maybe once or twice. I hope Tennessee gets some snow this winter, so she can wear them then. Has the weather been different in your area of the world? What are you thinking is going to happen in the next 10 years?   … [Read more...]
