Today is a very windy day. It would be a very warm day but the wind seems to be winning the battle. I know that the sun is up there saying "Hey! I had 80 degrees scheduled!" and the wind is just laughing and acting as if he didn't even hear. The wind is not chilly enough to make it cold or uncomfortable...but it is strong enough to get under your jacket and attempt to peck at your skin.
I just sat outside for my one hour lunch break to read and listen to music. I could have sat inside in the cafeteria at one of the booths...they are plush and comfortable...but not only are the tables too high for my five foot 2 inch frame (I feel as if I'm a child sitting there with my nose barely reaching above the table edge)...but I am an outside sort of person. This does not mean that I prefer outdoor sports (or sports in general) or own things like hiking boots or a canteen...it just means that if I have a choice I will choose outside.
I think that's the one thing that I love about my state. Cabin Fever seems to be a huge malady of mine... There are rarely days when I would prefer to be indoors. Rainy days here generally mean that it will rain somewhere around 5pm. The rest of the day is just lovely. Hurricane days can be a bit hindering, I definitely wouldn't find myself stretched out on a lawn chair in my backyard...but I would find myself on a nice screened in porch watching the trees sway and the rain come down sideways. As many cons as I have about living here (way too many mosquitoes, brutally hot winters, the stupid accents) I don't think I could trade the luxury of reading outside 365 days a year for anything.
