Edited to add: The Nanny Nanny Boo Boo was a reference to the way the flower looks (to me) to be sticking its tongue out and mocking me. A couple of hours after I posted this I was brushing my teeth and started thinking that someone who was still getting snow might think this was some mocking weather reference, which it was/is not.
Thinking about people in less-temperate climes got me to thinking about how Rebel, MVP's best friend from childhood, who goes to Harvard, and I used Facebook to ruin the weather in both San Diego and Cambridge this past week. This is how it went down:
Friday: Her Facebook status says that Cambridge is warmer than San Diego. I correct her by saying both San Diego and Cambridge are at 66. Saturday: I Facebook her that Cambridge is down to 39 and we're up to 85. Sunday: San Diego is at 96 and Cambridge is in the 30's. We should have both let it be when we were sharing 66! Sorry, people!
No offence taken!

Love the orchid. I soooo see it sticking it's pretty tongue out at me. SO cute.

I'm glad you clarified that, because my feeble brain would not have caught on.

I totally got the reference but appreciate that you are not fluanting your awesome weather while we are still 10 degrees below normal.
I hope the Bitchfest has good weather. i must say the 2 times I have been in SD it has been COLD - May 2008 and June 2007. What's up with that??

96 in San Diego? Yikes!
I love your flower with attitude. Is that in your garden?

It has been wicked cold around here lately!

Thanks for the edit. I was going to have to drop you as a friend.
KEEP BELIEVING

We've had two 90 degree days this week. I wish it would swing back down the other way.

Seriously 96 in San Diego?! Holy Crapoly!
I have a friend who works at Harvard and we do the weather wars sometimes!

Coming from a few towns north of Cambridge, let me tell you that the weather's been SUCKING (except last Friday, which was exceptional!) lately.
We're headed for the 80s this weekend. The last time it hit 80 in Boston was September 15th!!

It is going to be hard for me getting acclimated back to the I.E. weather. I love the cool mornings in the summer up here as opposed to the heat and the June Gloom and the Santa Anna's and it being 100 at Christmas. Why am I going back? Oh yeah that is where my home is.;)

My brother works in Cambridge.Yesterday it was cold and grey and rainy. It's supposed to get up to the 80's there this weekend.

What a pretty flower. I am glad someone in the world is having nice Spring weather! Rain, rain GO away!

It does look like it is sticking a tongue out at you! What a cool flower!

Gorgeous orchid, but shame on it for sticking its tongue out at us! LOL
Stormy and cool here for the past few days. I guess I'll take that over high heat. I can always put on a sweater. :)

We had a few days of 75 and 80 and now back to 55 and drizzle. I heard it was hot down there lately. Yikes!
Posted by: Asthmagirl | April 22, 2009 at 02:57 PM
Am green with envy at such a climate. We've reached 47 here...teeth still chattering....
Posted by: green girl | April 22, 2009 at 04:59 PM
Actually, though, it would be a perfect idea to mock others because they live in less than perfect climates. I do it myself often.

So you're behind the cold drizzle we're getting here in New Jersey? Your smug, superior San Diego vibes are bringing our temps down!
Posted by: The Mom Bomb | April 22, 2009 at 06:44 PM
Love the picture! We've had cold and windy and rainy weather lately, but expect gradual warming later. I'm okay with that; I like Wisconsin!
Posted by: Daisy | April 22, 2009 at 07:34 PM
I love comparing weather with my daughter in Philadelphia. She is thrilled that it has been in the 60's there and doesn't mind missing our current heat wave!
Posted by: Susan | April 22, 2009 at 10:53 PM
Gorgeous flower. What is it?
I'll stick with the 80 we had (our version of a heat wave) while you were in the high 90s!
