It's almost mid-January and the usual deep freeze has descended. The forecast for the coming week is supposed to be well below zero every day. As Minnesotans we hunker down and take pride in our ability to brave the weather and conduct business as usual. I liken it to the really, really hot summer months of the south where you dash quickly from the house to the car after you have given your car the appropriate time to cool off. Well, here in northern Minnesota, we dash quickly from our house to the car after we've given our cars the appropriate time to warm up. If you're native Minnesotan, you rarely wear boots, hats, or scarves. I've people watched during the coldest times of the winter and am always amazed at how little we bundle up when it's really cold. I always get a kick out of pictures of celebrities walking around in LA with hats, boots, scarves in the fall when it's probably a chilly 70.
This post is a little rambling, but the whole reason I wrote about the cold weather is so I could show my summer flower pictures in hopes of a little warm inspiration. I am very convinced that I have yet to find my natural (warmer) habitat.

When you decide where your natural warm habitat is, PLEASE take me with you!!
Beautiful flowers!! Makes me long for summer. I am in the middle of doing photo albums & am in the month of August ... how much longer 'til spring?!
those pics look awfully pretty especially tonight when it's supposed to get down to 40 below!
Oh, I can smell those flowers and feel the warmth of the summer sun...it can't come too fast for me. Thanks for sharing a little slice of heaven in this winter wonderland.
