Well, Sue, I know those territories quite well. I grew up in the SE part but evacuated over here to the west coast. The humidity is still pretty intense but we do enjoy pretty decent breezes off the lake. Sadly, the lake also provides us with an abundance of snow; I used to love it, I was an outdoor sports girl.

I've been in your parts during summer and my dear, you can have it!!


Flygirl, it sounds to me like we could solve all your woes with a cocoa plant. Best of both worlds and it will give you a new hobby, making chocolates for Taffy.
