Florida winters are a tranquil escape for this Northeast transplant...
As a long-time resident who migrated from the Northeast many decades ago, Florida's winter months have become an integral part of my life, offering a stark contrast to the chilly memories of my northern roots.
Winters here are different of course. We don't have that beautiful white snow, but we have a unique beauty during our winters that I have grown to love.
I don't miss the bone-chilling winds and layers of winter clothing.
Our Winter Sun, which is much less intense than the scorching summer, is still beautiful and casts a warm glow on everything. I look forward to the puffy cloud filled skies and the sun peaking out.
One of the remarkable features of a Florida winter is we still enjoy blooming flowers. While other regions hibernate under a blanket of snow, our state is still alive with vibrant flowers and lush greenery. Although the greenery may not be as lush as in the summer months, it is still beautiful.
Florida's wildlife, always present but perhaps more elusive in the summer heat, becomes more apparent during the winter months.
During the winter months, local residents, like myself, cherish the opportunity to engage in outdoor activities without the sweltering heat.
Whether it's a leisurely stroll along the beach or a round of golf, our Florida winters offers almost daily opportunities for those looking for recreation.
In essence, Florida's winters, while much different from the wonderful memories of my youth, have become my most treasured time of the year.
