I like Florida too. Like some birds, I have spent some winter migration time there too :-). Mostly in Panama City Beach.

Donegal in the very NW of the country has a surreal natural beauty to it. No. 7 is on my list this year. A friend of mine went there for a holiday about 15 years ago and is still there!! He was thinking about moving back to NC…[Read more]

Reg,

I am envious. My sis and bro in law vacationed in Ireland. The’re enthralled and may decide to retire there. My sis told me how much i would like to hike there. She aint wrong. He is an O’Solomon who had family there so there is some right of return or other, a zionist plot i suspect.

We have a house in the woods….well it’s more like a bayou, LOL. It’s about 78 degrees today. You would think 3 acres is enough, however if we ever left here, I would like at least 30 acres. High of 85 today, but it’s supposed to dip into the 50’s tonite.

One of the weird things about traveling to the far north in Vermont during the winter is the felicity of the apricity. The clean air. Yeah. You can taste it. City slickers who never ventured outside their rat cages would be amazed.

As soon as you cross over from MA to Brattleboro there is more snow. A lot more snow in some years. A line of…[Read more]
