As everyone knows 99% of the year, it is hot, humid and
Sunny especially in South Florida. When I lived in Florida, I was a walking
dripping sweat machine. I could not walk out of my house without a handkerchief
in my pocket to wipe my head dry every few minutes. I was
constantly in a state of wetness from my over productive sweat glands. I really don’t care for constant hot weather and
yet I lived there for over 20 years. Go Figure...
It has been nearly 90 days since we relocated to
Clarksville, Tennessee from South Florida. I can
say it is heaven for me here in Tennessee. Of course, moving here during the
fall and winter months was the right time to do it. I have yet to walk out of
my house and immediately break out in a sweat. I have not had to use my
collection of handkerchiefs since arriving.
What a pleasure to walk around outside and not be dripping sweat.
I grew up in the Midwest and it is a pleasure to be back in
the area where Season changes can be seen and felt. Not like in South Florida
where if you did not have a calendar you would not know whether it was summer
or winter.
Just this week as Paul and I were out walking the dogs as usual
I was watching the clouds because we were expecting a quick change in weather. We started the week in the 20’s with a dusting
of snow to nearly 70 and tornados/thunderstorms. I remembered something my grandmother would
say to us kids when we complained about something-“the only thing that is
guaranteed in life was that the weather will change”. Here in Tennessee that can mean AM versus PM
weather. The Midwest has not changed much since my childhood and I can honestly
say I could not be happier.
