My back porch is where I hang out. The front is more of a sidewalk to the front door, lots of cacti and rocks.

Anyway... I had an impromptu trip to the Botanical Garden tonight with the girls. The weather is perfect this time of year. And they make me smile :)

I'm more of a backdoor kind of guy.

60° never used to be cold.. Now I'm almost in need of a sweater. Pathetic....

It's crazy man. I was golfing a couple years ago in St. Augustine Fla. it was 60deg. I was in shorts and the old people walking were in down parkas with chooks on. and gloves.

at 53* I would be wearing a winter coat and hat and possibly mittens or gloves.

Where I come from, we call these:

Chook/Toque
Chook/Toque/Beanie
Across much of the country this basic knit hat is referred to as a “beanie”. However in the Upper Peninsula this is commonly referred to as a “chook” (or chuke) and “toque” (or tuque). There is no doubt that a chook is the most common of winter hats and comes in the most varieties. Some have a ball on the top. Many have sports teams. And they come in a wide array of fabrics, colors, and fits. Chooks are warm, durable, and practical for nearly all scenarios.

I get the strangest looks when I say it's cold enough to wear a chook. :D
