I have been enjoying the fall season—in a Florida way. The breezes change perception as it is warm—81 at nine in the morning, but the cloudy skies and wind make it “seem” cooler. Christopher and I like to walk at Snyder Park, which is loaded with trees for shade, so we even get the leaves to crunch.
I was in Oakmont, PA in September, and it was the real deal. Oaks and pine trees. Falling leaves. The tradeoff is they have actual cold winters with snow, while I just need to watch out for falling lizards if we get temps below 50. I like being in the subtropics and prefer the heat to the cold. My hubby (a Florida native) doesn’t so much, so we have compromised on moving up the coast, eventually, toward Amelia Island. I’ve been in Florida for over 25 years, which practically makes me a native. My goal? To be a snowbird with a home part-time in the Pacific Northwest.
I will be hanging out on the Cozy Mystery Lovers page tomorrow from 4-5, and offering two separate giveaways for books—Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead AND an ARC of Murder at the Scottish Games.
I hope to see you there!
