We reach zero and below a couple times a year as a rule, but teens are normal lows here in Southern Maine. Living near the ocean has a tempering effect also.

Yes, we live in a truly great and beautiful country. I just shudder at the changes Obama has in store for us. Never had a desire to travel abroad. There are too many places here that I would love to visit for the first time and many, many more that I would love to revisit.

That's not bad at all. Do you have any lighthouses nearby? I just love the pictures of Maine with all the lighthouses and the rocky cliffs.

I also hope the country (meaning its economy) isn't destroyed so much that few can travel.

ps. Do you have that cute Maine accent? Or is it only part of the state that has it? (I never got a Texas accent myself b/c it’s only the east part of the state that has it. Darn - I think accents are so neat. Well, any accent other than those the illegals all over here have. Come to think of it, and about half the legals - anchor babies. They don’t learn one word of English until our schools are forced to waste money teaching them the language. So they end up sounding like they never even lived here, much less were born here.)

I agree, so much to see and so little time in one small lifetime.

Are you able to grow a lot there? I will be attempting to grow stuff at 7200', probably only from June-September. I wonder if those conditions are similar to a cold northern state?
