A sign that snowbirds will begin migration soon.

[Taltarzac725]

Sadness that another year has gone by and happiness that I am still around to meet the new one.

[Stu from NYC]

Confused?

[fdpaq0580]

A little sadness for the passing mixed with hope for the success of its seedlings.

[LeRoySmith]

I feel a sneeze coming on.

As a new owner in TV it is really sad to hear how the full timers feel about the snow birds, when we pay our fair share of all of the expenses even though we are not there all year. Makes it possible for the full timers to live there at a reasonable cost.

What would it cost you to live in TV without the snowbirds paying their share all year?

There are many threads on this topic. Not everyone feels this way.

But back to the photo…it reminds me of the dusting I need to do.

And that another autumn is upon us

don't be concerned, it's only a handful of people who complain, only they have loud voices. there's more then a few snowbirds in our area & treat them no differently. matter of fact, i'm glad to see them come back! :thumbup:

Please don’t assume that all frogs (here ‘til we croak) feel that way about snowbirds. What you say about what they contribute is true. Sure, we don’t like the extra traffic and having to make reservations in restaurants again or the extra people on the golf course or pickleball court. However, I play music in a lot of jams every week, and during this part of the year attendance is down about fifty percent. I know that my fellow jammers and I are looking forward to having our friends and fellow musicians rejoin us. We also look forward to the rest of our weekly audiences returning. Welcome Home, Snowbirds!

This site always has an abundance of negative comments. Best to ignore most.

Now it's time for the fruit to form and feed the birds or other creatures around.

I was just thinking, snowbirds are full time owners. If they decided to stay full time, the intended construction, density of buildings, everything, was built for full time occupation. Not including renters. So the winter congestion should actually be a year round congestion. (Not that I don’t enjoy the fewer people in off peak season, myself…)

For some people it is necessary to hate someone. Race, religion Snowbirds etc it doesn’t matter. Small people can feel big this way. However, if we can all admit things are more crowded, waits longer for tee times etc. and that is simply a product of where you chose to live, if you accept this you will make everyone’s life more pleasant. This is better than nasty raves about snowbirds and how bad they are. Hey if you don’t like snowbirds, MOVE. Because this is how it is in Florida. In upstate New York we have an influx of NYC area and southerners move up north every summer. We love it and appreciate what it does for the economy and the number events we would normally have. Think before you seek to offend! For you haters just enjoy your pleasures of when we leave, or just go move to Smallville and live there. I guarantee it will be more expensive and you will still can find someone to hate!

Don't know why but I feel happy.

When I first looked at it, I thought it was a mop!
Then I blew it up and realized it reminded me of weeds.
:eek:

It makes me feel the need to argue about snowbirds.
