You are so lucky. I can't even see the ground for all the snow. But April it will start melting and April is called the Mud Season. By mid June, flowers come up and we can plant flowers again. Short summers. But gorgeous.
I think a summer house in Maine would be wonderful. Our summers are brutal but I am not tough enough to put up with a Maine winter. Rich people have the right idea, summer one place and winter another. LOL!
