Scottish Weather

I’ve been following Angus for many years now. He moved from Scotland to Italy to France and then back to Scotland. This is what he wrote Sunday:

There comes a point in the year when the switched is turned and Scotland moves from being a place of long nights and chill winds into a place of endless light … and chill winds. We’re there.

Kaitlin spent her Junior year at St. Andrews and I was lucky enough to visit her twice while she was there, once in November and once in the spring. The weather was unusually nice both times, which was an added bonus. Two of the highlights of my life.

Snowing and Melting

It was lightly snowing when I took these pictures yesterday morning. It was also above freezing, so the new snow melted right away.

Up in the mountains it was another matter. Andy didn’t even try to go up the past three days.

Thursday’s post reminds me of my favorite New Yorker cartoon. A cowboy and his horse look unhappy, squinting to keep the sun out of their eyes. The horse says,

Can’t we ever ride off in another direction?

I’m Not Completely Out of It

Andy and I like The New Yorker cartoons, so Kaitlin has been giving us gift subscriptions. Yesterday evening Andy came out to show me the latest cover and asked if I knew what it was about.

The New Yorker, March 11, 2024

Andy and I haven’t gone to a movie in years, but I could actually answer him. It was Barbie slapping Oppenheimer because his movie won a lot more awards. He was impressed, and I was pleased I knew the answer. How cool is that?

Snow and Tomatoes

Andy has plowed the road twice in the past few days.

But we’re still getting fresh tomatoes from the greenhouse.

Guess What This Map Shows?

The red spot shows Los Angeles County. The blue shows the states with populations less than Los Angeles County. Fortunately we live in one of them.
