Daydreaming.... by PeggyJaeger

 I live in a place where winter doesn't last the typical calendar 3 months. It doesn't even last 4 months.

Nope. Not even 5. Truthfully, I live in rural New England where winter arrives sometime in October and sticks around until May. This is no lie. My birthday is in May and two years in a row there was still snow on the ground that had fallen in November and never melted, just got piled on top of by more snow.

Then there are the temperatures. Many Januarys, the temp doesn't rise about 15 degrees F on any day.

31 days of frigid air temps turns me into a hermit through most of the new year.

On those ridiculously cold days, I daydream about living somewhere the temperature never goes above 70 degrees, there is no humidity ( my curly hair hates humidity!), and the sun shines for exactly 10 hours a day, not into the late, late evening, which makes going to bed difficult.

Does anyone know of such a place? If you do, I'm there in a heartbeat, LOL.

If I was able to find a paradise like that I'd do what I do now and write all day long. But I think I might change up my location a little and go outside to write, not stay hermited inside all day long, like I do during those dreadful winters.

I don't care if the place is near the ocean - water doesn't appeal to me and I have to stay out of direct sunlight anyway due to my skin condition.

I don't care if it's in the mountains, either, because I already live in the woods so trees don't do it for me.

And I don't care if it's in an urban or rural area. I've lived in both. No preference.

All I care about is the temperature, humidity control, and daylight hours.

Not too much to wish for, right? LOL
