I am sorry to say that this will be all I blog for the next few weeks.  We are heading down to the lower 48 to visit family.   We have only been here 3 months and it is definitely time to take a break from this weather.  We are certainly hoping that the extreme warmth of the south continues.  Sorry, I know you have all had enough; but we need to thaw out before winter!!!  I have been told that I will more than likely we will return to snow.  If not on the island itself then on the mountains for sure.  A couple of them are already becoming snowcapped again.  It is just a matter of time...  All for now...
