Month: January 2013

I am not a fan of cold weather. Born in Puerto Rico makes me genetically predisposed for warmth. But wait, my mom loved the cold.  Might have to rethink this. O.K. as most of my ancestors came from Spain and settled in P.R. 200 years ago so most of my DNA favors warm — not hot– weather. My mom was obviously a throw back to some ancestor from the Pyrenees Mountains.

All that said and done 58 degree temperatures in the middle of January are not right. New York plants need the cold to set flowers and fruit this summer. It just aint natural. The squirrels, chipmunks,  rabbits and birds are still outside and they should be dormant. Climate change is messing us up.

Watch, since I have written  this we will get an enormous blizzard next week.

New Years day has come and gone 2013 has arrived but things are pretty much the same.School resumed, the kids are back in school everyone goes back to their routine.

Traditionally Epiphany closes the season in Latin households, Epiphany was yesterday. Now we take down the Christmas decor we so lovingly and carefully put up. And so it goes.

Have been looking for some important documents for a month today I found them. If not found a trip to my home town in Puerto Rico would be needed.  Now an unnecessary trip has been avoided. I like pleasure trips but this one would have been painful.

To go to P.R. without Leo — too sad to think on. Perhaps  a few months more will make it better. To go alone just now? No, not going to happen.
