For the first time, I live in a near-desert climate. I've noticed my thoughts about weather changing a lot. Do you worry about fire where you live? Yes

Thunderstorms are feared here, because of the possibility of lightning starting fires. How about you? I love thunderstorms, particularly if I'm under a tin roof.

I used to dislike really cold weather, but when I had a farm (I use that term loosely) I liked that I could walk on top of horse poop rather than through it on the way to the barn. How about you? I can see the advantages, but still prefer it warmer.

Fall used to make me sad, until I thought about my garden needing to sleep. How about you? I love the slow down and peacefulness with fall.

The plants can sleep some other time--that's what night is for. They need to get with my program.
