Sometimes life makes concepts painfully obvious. This week, I was amused at how many times I recognized that I know I'm in Wisconsin.
You know you're from Wisconsin when . . .
1. . . .your weather changes from 70 degrees to 40 degrees within two days.
2. . . . when the first snow comes, you see a plethora of people strolling outside in T-shirts. (They didn't even flinch!)
3. . . your children refuse to wear anything warmer than a fleece even though it is only 35 degrees. Evan wouldn't even wear a fleece. Long sleeves were enough for him.
4. . . you are talking about how much snow the people "Up North" got. (Everyone in this area says "up north" to refer to anything more than 10 miles north of Madison.)
5. . . Even slushy snow doesn't stop the tackle football in the front yard.
6. . . you still have a plant attempting to grow a pepper sitting in the front of the garage when it has been snow/sleeting all day. (Hmmm. . . maybe I should throw it away and give up on the pepper!)
7. . . Even the adults refuse to put on their winter coats in the cold. We know that in March, 35 degrees will feel like a heat wave and we will probably put on shorts!
8. . . When the snow came, I was wearing high heeled sandals to school. My feet were freezing as I heard the heater kick on at school. Oops-
Ahh, yes. The joys of Wisconsin.

You never have figured out that whole winter shoe thing... remember wearing $2 white tennies in lieu of boots your entire senior high career? :)
