Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Oh yes, Denver is known for drastic degree changes 40 degrees in 24 hours not uncommon.

It is almost cruel, isn't it?! February is hard enough without being teased. Yesterday was glorious, but the let down today is painful. I have spent the morning dreaming of moving somewhere where it is 70 and sunny all the time.

I know I should be grateful for those rays of sunshine. But, hey, I am greedy!

Same here in NC. We actually went for a nice nature walk yesterday.
And now I am watching the gray skies and snow flurries, dreaming of being Jennifer on her boat in the keys!

Yes!!! On Friday, it was 75 degrees and Saturday in the 40s (not usual for Texas). And, then, today it's in the mid 60s (more like it). The weather's been weird!

I'd say even shorter than 24 hours! The joke is that if you don't like the weather, just wait a few hours

Not here, we've not had the ups and downs to speak of. And, just to make you feel better ....lows last night and tonight in the negative digits, highs in the single digits to teens. Dangerous wind chill and drifting snow tonight. High for Wednesday predicted to be 7 degrees. Snowfall totals for the year are over 50 inches!!! We haven't had a winter like this since I was a kid. We are in SE Iowa. 74 degrees? Haven't seen that in a while...

Maybe Paula (been praying for you, dear) and Theresa and any other northern moms with similar stories can chime in?
God bless you all,
Angela

We've had some ups and downs in FL too... 80+ yesterday and 59 this morning, 64 in the afternoon. We're usually starting to experience "summer" by this time but I was really glad to have a little more of the cool weather.
