Spin Cycle--California Dreams

This week Gretchen and Ginny are asking what the weather is like where we are, or do you have dreams of being somewhere else? 
The weather here is very cold right now.  It was -23 degrees this morning.  That is beyond cold to fracking cold. Wind chills were in the -40 or colder. We have about 8-9 inches of snow on the ground.  It is a winter wonderland for sure.  Nice to look out the window at and not so nice to be out in.  It's just so blinking cold.
To be honest, I like it, maybe not so cold but I like winter and snow and how pretty things look when the ugly is covered up with a blanket of white.

Not that by February I won't be longing for a beach and the warmth that goes along with it, but the snow is so pretty. And it should be snowy this time of year. And while the below zero temps usually come in January, having it cold means the snow sticks around and looks nice for longer.

But a visit to California does sound nice--especially if we get to visit the lovely Gretchen again.

What would be your California dream?  Spin it up and link up with Gretchen and Ginny Marie, they would love to have you!
