No roaches, fewer mosquitos, no fire ants, your thighs don't roast on the car seat when you sit down in shorts. There are distinct seasons to enjoy. I plant some evergreen plants outside my windows so I can see some green, wear Cuddlesilks long underwear (Sears)..the best and cheap. I heat up my bedsheets with an electric blanket before I climb in and use a beanie bag hot from the microwave to warm my feet. It's not exactly prairie life, but it gets me through the winter. I make more chili and soup, and use more frozen veggies...succotash! Fresh apple pie is always a plus too. Good time to weed the garden too. Moving to Asheville from Florida was a huge blessing.

You actually must put that in your bucket list. Hey y’all – the smell of roasting chestnuts and eating them outside is a rite of passage. You actually must put that in your bucket list.

They are so good and they even have mystical qualities...more to come! Lisa, if you have never had fresh roasted chestnuts, maybe you will have to come to visit to try some before the season is over.

That's about what I get of the changing seasons. Even during our winters we get some days that are warm enough to wear shorts. And definitely during some June gloom months it's cold enough to wear a sweater. I grew up in SoCal and am extremely spoiled. NoCal was a rude awakening, and the DC metro area was too much for me after the third summer and winter... I've a friend In NE Oregon who has the extremes and I like hearing about it... but know I'd really have a problem getting into a shower on freezing cold mornings. I'm curious about the chestnuts... I'll stay tuned. I have a tree across the street from me that changes colors. That’s about what I get of the changing seasons.
