Why do you live there? Hmmm, you guys up North do have wicked cool snowmobiles though!
It was hot today in Coral Springs, I just planted tomatoes, peppers and lettuce.

We live here because it's home. I'm not to sure i would living where there is no fall or winter....i gotta have the seasons. We spent 2 weeks down in Fl, Al, Ms,Ga and La last month, the weather was BEAUTIFUL. But we missed the snow. In another 2-3 weeks we'll have our 12 weeks of summer.





gotta have the seasons.....

I don't think I could handle all of that snow. A few snow falls a year isn't to bad,but that much at one time. I'm glad spring is coming in here in KY.

I heard you all got socked with a huge snow storm - looks like you had your work cut out for you with the snowblower.
