A few of my thoughts, on why I love living in Florida.
I no longer own a snow shovel.
Heck, I haven't even scraped my own windshield in 10 years...much less worrying about finding a place to plug in my vehicle at
-55.
I used to live for a three week vacation somewhere warm in late January, but always had to go home for 3+ more months of snow and ice.
Now, we've made trips to the snow and mountains (the mountains, I do miss)....but come home and wear shorts.
Speaking of which, I love putting up Christmas lights outside in shorts... instead of running inside to warm up hands that have been outside of my gloves.
I love it when it's.....warm AND dark.
As far as love bugs or other pests, they are laughable compared to swarms of large mosquitoes that are so blood thirsty....they have been known to stampede caribou herds numbering in the thousands.
While I would never trade my 30+ years living in an extreme cold climate....there isn't enough money to make me go back.
My photo album......pretty much says it all.
