As much as we miss the friends and family from back North - brief trips to Richmond - Washington - and Springfield have made us realize that there will be no snow shoveling in our future.
Tallahassee is in "Northern" Florida. We will hills - pine trees - oaks - frost - and a few temperatures below freezing. This is often followed by a few days of 80 degrees in February. Summers are hot and humid - just like Washington DC - both cities have plenty of air conditioning.
Many of the our citizens have family ties to the region - during the Civil War - 80% of the people in the county were slaves.
We have been living in our Southern plantation now for over a year. The yard is in bloom. The light pink flowers are dogwood. The darker pink are azaleas. The camellias have already fallen.
The grass was yellow through January and February - it is starting to turn green now.
Lulu's blueberries have lots of blossoms and even some berries already
This tangerine tree has tons of blossoms and smells so good.
Our orange tree produced 10 fruit the first bloom - we only planted it in August. The oranges are very sweet and there is only one left.
If you look closely you can see the blueberries.
