Hi SusanJane,

I did not know that Maine got that cold.

> have to be careful from time to time

I hear you - you can easily dress for the cold - but the windchill is hard 
to dress for - you can freeze parts of your face pretty quick if you stay 
turned into the wind in the same direction for too long when you are working 
on something.

> more heat in the summer, too, which they may have, with my thanks.

I hear you.  We get quite hot here in the summer (both days- lol) - but with 
no humidity (have travelled and experienced that - humidity & heat = 
gruesome).

The upside to cold weather is that after a long stretch of it, a person 
appreciates the nice days all that much more.

When it warmed up, the animals all "celebrated" and became "playful".  It is 
good to watch, just like watching the lambs bounce around in the pasture in 
the spring.

Enjoy your week.

Frank
