This is GREAT! Having grown up and gone to college in New England, I can say that this is smack dab, right on point. If you could just cut the winter by three months, I would be live there in a heart beat.
ReplyDeleteHonestly? The winters here are SOOOO mild compared to where you went to college? Not even remotely the same thing! Especially where I live right on the coast! It was in the 50s yesterday! Not shabby at all!
ReplyDeleteWhew, you're always making me work! Based on my intensive research, it looks like the average temperature for Boston is a little over 29 degrees in January. This winter has not been a normal one by any means. My point being only that I would prefer to live in a spot where spring begins in March than in New England where it begins in mid to late April. But New England wouldn't be New England if you had a shorter winter. I guess that is part of its charm. For me, I like to visit in mid May or mid October. Best times of the year there by far.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, it's snowing here today and lovely! I can take the cold and a bit of snow...No blizzards for me, though!!
DeleteAnd, just FYI? I LOOOOVE those dog flowers too! Hint hint.
I will send you my address (by email, of course) if you felt so inclined!! (I'm so subtle! It's my specialty - being coy (NOT!)!)
