feels like the desert

Our house has been extremely dry this winter. Our high-efficiency furnace does a good job of removing all the moisture from the air. :-( We've had a humidifier running almost constantly, but there's white dust everywhere because of the minerals in the water. Hawaii was so nice, climate-wise. It is very humid there, though it never felt bad. But when we got back, my skin turned all itchy again, and Cyn's sinues started bothering her.

It's been warm since friday. Almost all the snow is gone now. Been a lot of flood warnings. That happens when all of your snow melts in four days. It was warm enough to open the windows for a while yesterday. Hopefully, that brought a little bit of humidity back into the house.

I hope you have good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner...LOTION TOO!
I live in extreme dry conditions and it reeks havoc on the hair and skin.

There is a Gerbera Daisy in full bloom this morning...geesh!

We lost all our snow. The birds have been singing. I had a crocus blooming on sunday.

No, I don't really take care of my skin as well as I should.

The skin between my fingers cracks and starts to bleed in a few places in the winter, so I was very surprised that things healed when I went to Arizona, where they supposedly have extremely low humidity. My fingers were fine, for a few days at least, once I got back. Oh, weird, weird Wisconsin.

I wonder if it's the difference between indoors and outdoors.
