Ahhh, the South

Every year we live down here in South Carolina the weather takes me by surprise.  You'd think after three years I'd be on board, but no.  The girl from Spokane Valley, WA  still can't quite get with the program.

What I mean is that the spring and fall are a bit, well, crazy.  My washer is always very unique at this point because I have those great fleecy jammies sitting in with the swimsuits and beach towels.  Why you ask?  Because at night it can dip to 40 degrees and then the next afternoon be in the 80's.  I know it sounds really odd, but after three years it seems to be a regular thing for Sumter, SC.

So due to the wacky weather my kids all have seasonal allergies which make them and me miserable, but they also get to do really fun things like swim in the pool in March.  That's what these pix are.  Here in Sumter, March 30th was greeted with blue skies, scorching sunshine, and super happy little children playing in the water.  That's just the way it is down here.  We kind of just roll with it at this point, though the recent cold snap sent us back to allergy meds for a week or so.  Sheesh!
