I miss feeding the Baltimore orioles.
The smile of Lilacs.
Freshly cut hay.
Corn/wheat fields.
The view of dairy farm with Holsted cows.
The sound of the Loons on a quiet lake.
Catching and eating fresh Walleyes, perch, bluegills.
Picking/Hunting for asparagus and Morel mushrooms.
The Four seasons, (sometimes.)

Seriously, 5 years ago moving to Florida, I wouldn't think I would miss any of these.

What you say?

Cheers!
Walleye, Perch, Smelt - Fish Fry on Friday
Nicer Summer
Actual friendly people
not having to deal with (*#(*&^#*&$&#& drivers
not having to deal with Northeasterners LOL (sorry midwest and NE don't mix well)
not having to deal with subpar construction
snow
small town fairs
real craft fairs (but I'm glad to save the $$$ being here LOL)
having places to go AFTER 9pm
lilacs, quality roses, etc
lakes not filled with crap


I'm sure given time I could list more, but I'm sure I've ****ed enough people off with that one.
