spring time & wool socks

baby clothes are all hung up along the sidewalk, flowers are blooming (but don't last for long), and blue skies with marvelous clouds are out- which means spring is HERE... finally!! :D i always am in awe of His creation when i see it on a beautiful day like today... living in china for a while you learn to appreciate days like these because they are RARE!

BUT... why am i still wearing wool socks and layers in my home? because harbin and southern california has made me a wimp. haha in harbin, i've been spoiled with amazing central heating during the cold and freezing winters. on the other hand, southern california just always has good weather- never TOO hot or TOO cold! haha back to the wool socks & layers of clothes i'm currently wearing... that's because it gets a bit chilly in my home. i believe i live in the coldest apartment on the 20th floor- it's a corner apartment, i live ALONE, and in a shaded area of the building that doesn't see the sun for most of the day except from 4-7am! so while it's beautifully 70 degrees outside.. it's about 40-50 something in my home :(

i guess you can't have it all... haha ;)
