beautiful day

The weather around here has been uncharacteristically cold lately, you know, sort of like a normal winter around the rest of the country. We had rain yesterday, not just rain, but HARD rain. And not just rain but small bits of hail here and there, and even reports of SNOW in the outer reaches of the county. Ada is very fascinated by this new weather. She likes to talk about. A LOT.

In fact, she has been telling us that the rain and the cold are here because it is winter, and that our normal weather is what she likes to call Summer Winter. (Really, she said those exact words.)

Makes sense.

The rain lasted a whole day and now we are back to beautiful sunshine, only it is still cold outside. Deciding that we were brave enough to face some chilly air we decided to walk to breakfast this morning. Ada usually ebbs and flows from walking behind us to sprinting past us in exhilaration. At one point as Ada was exploring the nature behind us, Ada very matter of factly stated:

"Today is a beautiful day. Except. It is really cold."

We are definitely raising a little Southern California girl.
