I wonder what it is that makes one person love all surprises and changes and the unexpected with weather , and another simply want some warm steady sunny climate.
Certainly it's not genes- though I often used to suspect that my favorite weather being a cold rainy freezing cold winter day, out tromping through the woods, was due to being a MacLean/McClellan
But having lived in Eastern MA, Southampton. NY, Westchester, NY, Albuquerque, NM, NH, VT, and then Western Mass, (which considers itself quite the separate entity from Eastern Mass, )
I can honestly say that although there is a distinct pleasure in gardening- in waking up and wearing flip flops and never any coat at all -
in having all windows wide open for fresh air to be barreling through,
still- the unanticipated changes captivate me .

The never-the-same-sky or July weather or rain daily from 4:00-4:30 in Albuquerque... that oppressive mild regularity simply makes me miserable.
Maui is lovely with an amazing history , but as Massachusetts is my witness, I crave and flourish with this change change change.

No one here even NEEDS to check on the weather unless you make sure you need to water or not water- snowplow now or in three hours, or happen to be climbing Mt. Washington this morning.
Hopefully as many of us as possible have a shot at living in the place that stirs our hearts and keeps us happily on our toes-or not.
