Toffee Cheesecake Bars

Oh warm weather, how I have missed you.

We didn't really get a springtime, nature seems to be in a habit of cutting us short on the in-between-and-less-severe seasons these days. It seems like every year our spring and fall get a little shorter and our summer and winter with their never-failing temperature extremes just keep getting longer and looooonger.

I miss my four seasons. I used to think that was one of the only good things about living in a state like this. You get four distinct seasons. Four types of weather, four collections of fashion statements, four waves of seasonal produce and fresh ingredients. I never got sick of any one time of year because just it came just at the perfect moment and left just a tad bit early, leaving me wanting a little more. I loved it that way. 

Only two real seasons is not working for me. I feel like I missed my springtime fever and transitioning wardrobe. 

But really, I am loving the warm sunshine. It was a little hot yesterday afternoon in long jeans (90 degrees...) but I walked out of the grocery store around 7:30 last night and though "oh my gosh this is it, the perfect temperature". So I rushed to my car to check the temp gauge on my dash. It said 88. I don't think that was quite right. I'm thinking it was more like low 80s... But oh well. All I know is that it was glorious and I would definitely be okay with a few days of that perfectly comfortable, not-hot-not-cold-no-breeze-to-chill-your-legs weather. And a few of these Toffee Cheesecake Bars.
