I do enjoy those balmy above freezing days when I can leave my hands bare and coat unzipped :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307066665335899370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-62049043245888470062015-01-30T11:53:25.336-07:002015-01-30T11:53:25.336-07:00I think there are some scenes in one of the Godfat...I think there are some scenes in one of the Godfather movies where they're all down in Cuba making clandestine deals.

And summer lasts a lot longer than winter - in fact about as long as winter, spring and fall combined.<br /><br />About Havana, I just remembered that my significant other's parents honeymooned in Havana in the early 1940's. So I guess it was still a happening place even after Prohibition - until Castro took over.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948800298547471988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-18076110639887251362015-01-29T14:58:42.681-07:002015-01-29T14:58:42.681-07:00Your weather sounds lovely!

Bet it's not quite so nice in the summer though, unless you really like heat and humidity!<br /><br />The whole Cuba thing is a bit of a mind shift isn't it? Somehow I don't associate Cuba with nightclubs and partying, but apparently it was the LasVegas of its day!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-11453050052004583322015-01-29T09:01:56.378-07:002015-01-29T09:01:56.378-07:00I'm in middle Georgia and right now the nights...I'm in middle Georgia and right now the nights are around freezing and the days around 60 (30 degree spans are pretty normal), but we have a winter cycle where it warms up several degrees and rains, then clears off and gets colder. This happens on a 7-10 day cycle so we can hit from around 20 to 70 during that time, but no snow. We usually only get snow once every few years. It stays a day or two and then it's gone. I enjoyed the Irving Berlin ditty. It was a new one to me and somehow I never made the Prohibition - Havana- American tourist boom before, but it makes total sense now that I think about it.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948800298547471988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-14776560647056071042015-01-29T00:25:06.712-07:002015-01-29T00:25:06.712-07:00Oh... summer... you've got summer.

What really screws people up is that the big winter warm ups tend to come right before big storms because when a storm comes in from the west it creates a down slope off the mountains that warms the air just before the storm arrives. And right on cue, it's supposed to snow tonight - though not a big one this time. Guess I'll put my shorts and tank top away for another few months!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-9461840575230052352015-01-29T00:19:26.438-07:002015-01-29T00:19:26.438-07:00That picture just cracks me up.

It's in the single digits here ...Not nice, Cat. It's in the single digits here right now with negative temps predicted a couple of times this week for lows. Looking at our ten day forecast there is no chance of anything even resembling warmth. But now that I've vented I'm glad you got to enjoy the nice weather you are having.<br /><br />I am also enjoying the Tom Brady "hurt feelings" over his deflated balls. By the way, I burst out laughing as I read the headline on the Brady image. The newest scandal involves Blount who was a free agent last year, signed with Pittsburgh (my team) and then got himself canned only to sign back with the Patriots the next day. Reporters asked him about the timing and basically all he does is smile and chuckle about it. <br /><br />You've out done yourself this time on your images, the dogs- yes the one is gloating, and the cat - This doesn't concern you, are the best. I can definitely tell the weather and bike ride has had a positive effect on you. :-)Loishttp://theecograndma.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-34486441832027019542015-01-28T13:10:10.894-07:002015-01-28T13:10:10.894-07:00I like the sunshine-cat pictures--my cat seeks out...I like the sunshine-cat pictures--my cat seeks out sunshine squares on the floor (we tend to be overcast this time of year, so I understand the appeal!). <br /><br />Much as I envy your 70 degree temps, I think I would find it kinda confusing to live in your climate--you really are up and down a lot. We have been enjoying sunshiny days with upper teens to mid-twenty temps here. Getting a little snow tomorrow which will freshen things up a bit and might even make it nice for snow-shoeing again. <br /><br />Have a good day, Cat!Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-77028199458651272362015-01-28T05:25:36.524-07:002015-01-28T05:25:36.524-07:00We're somewhere in-between with our weather.
