The plants are moved to the dining table for a bask in the February morning sunshine. They can see outdoors to be glad they aren't out there on a very windy day. The outside flap for the stove hood vent signals high winds to me before I even look out the window.
Moving my life around to be in the sunshine would be nice. But, that would take a major move to a much lower latitude. Do you know the latitude you live at?
If you go to forecast.weather.gov (National Weather Service, NWS), and put in your zip code, then you will see a topographical map on the right with the Point Forecast for that station's zip code. Your exact coordinates can be taken by using a compass with that feature. (How far down from the North Pole you are and how far west from the meridian in Greenwich, England.)
A fun bucket list item is to see what it feels like to be on Earth's Equator. According to Wikipedia, there are 13 countries that it passes through. The closests to me would be in South America. Interesting though, Hawaii is the American state closests to the Equator at almost 19ºNorth.
At 44ºNorth, I'm a ways away from the Equator. I haven't even passed through the Equator.
Have you been on the Equator? To Hawaii? South America?
