Spring Showers...April Snow brings May Sleet?

There really is no such thing as "normal weather" anymore, is there? Climate change is occurring all around us all the time, and even sheltered little valleys like the Rogue are seeing all sorts of bizarre happenings. Like this weekend, for example. It was was absolutely beautiful with sunshine and a high of 80. T-shirt weather, first sunburns, talks of bbqs and people asking about picnic supplies. Monday afternoon. Snow. 3+ inches. Everyone nursing colds and covering up those dearly-won tans with winter coats.

Natural phenomena aside, life also follows a less than "normal" path, for which I am continually grateful and thankful. Work continues at the travel store, where I am able to talk to people about traveling and often am invited to go along! Work also continues for a local business doing marketing, a job that has been frustrating at times, but hopefully will be rewarded with dazzling success. :) I am always making plans for the next trip, job, etc. and hope to be returning to Europe sometime this fall!

The weather will hopefully grow warmer. In the meantime, I am taking off for San Diego for a few days to get some sun!
