It’s a bright but brittle-cold morning in snow-covered Maine where we’re looking at ZERO degrees on the thermometer and counting the days until Florida sunshine. The Christmas decorations – both outdoor and indoor – are almost all packed up, which means we’ll be all packed up too, ready to fly south for some Vitamin D and the sound of chirping birds.

But the coffee’s hot and it’s time to — as Dorothy Parker would say — find out what fresh hell awaits us today. Are you ready? The birds are chirping on the chat line. Let’s go find out what they’re talking about.



I’m staying put in New England. Don’t leave us.
Safe travels. Looks beautiful but to cold
Indoors most of the time. Eager to get outdoors in the sunshine and feel hot sand under my feet!
Beautiful pictures, but the sun is calling.
