Yes, the rain constitutes the “winter” here. I think I’d rather see snow, but I’ll have to get used to the rain because AR has a lot of it. And it’s very cold in the winter, as well.
Probably not as cold as you’re used to, or as hot, but more rain. Maybe you’ll like it. Iirc, you haven’t lived east of the Rockies for a very long time.
I have Shannon her pill wrapped in a bit of meat. It’s a tiny pill, fortunately. Now she’s sitting in the kitchen waiting for more meat!
