One day it will not be dark when I leave for work

This feels like the longest winter of my life. Coldest, too. With my very limited heat, it's usually mid 50s inside when I wake up/get home from work. Gets up to the low 60s after the heat has been on two or three hours. Nowadays, 66 inside feels toasty warm!

Come back soon, summer!

What a pretty picture, though!

Ha ha, I keep my thermostat on 65 even though I don't have limited heat. Because I'm cheap.

Its odd how bright the picture came out. It was pitch black, other than the small glow of the rising sun... You couldn't see down that sidewalk at all.

And colder is great for saving money, yep!

It still makes me wish for spring, though! We were lucky, it was like 70 yesterday, perfect outside. It didn't feel like January at all. It worries me though, I'm afraid it means summer down here will be unbearably hot.

I've been so cold this winter, I don't think a single complaint if it's a hot summer!

We're finally getting to the mid 60s some days, but I'm at that sad point in the year where it's colder inside than out -- ground floor, cold radiates up. Walls are cold, so it radiates in.

I had to tell my mother that if she wants me to move back to Maine, she should stop asking me during the winter. :P
