Hi Ellen - Thanks for stopping by! The beauty of North Florida takes my breath away! And you are right....we are not subject to the full force of hurricanes here, though we do get the brunt of the tail end of some of the systems (not this season, as hurricanes are apparently taking a break....not that I'm complaining!) :)

It is an incredible area, and in northern FL so you are not subject to the tropical storms as much. Great place!
