Sunshine offers Vitamin D. Sometimes I wonder about the defficiencies which come from living in a cloudy rainy place.
Our tempratures have also dropped here, lately. My husband remarketed yesterday that it feels like Febuary. Face book friends mention summer whether; while we’ve regressed to Winter. Is that fare?
