Not Pink, but...

Twelve springs ago, we were transplanted from Minnesota to Idaho. Northern tier still, and you wouldn't think the climate would be so different. We do have seasons, snow in winter, heat in summer -- plenty of it! The primary difference -- it's much hotter and drier in summer, and winter is more mild. When we got here, I found I liked the extreme, dry heat, and all the sunshine.

A dozen summers later, yup, I can still say I love it. You learn how to live in it -- and quite honestly, I find it lots easier than the "not the heat it's the humidity" back in Minnesota! That stuff is just NASty!
