-> Well you didn't list any states that I would move to either.  I think
-> the only ones I would even consider would be VT, NH, ME or on the
-> other side MT, ID, WA or OR.
I tried MT, ID, WA, and OR too.  Of all the states I've lived in I think
HI and CA have been best.  I'm willing to try NM and AZ though.  I
don't like shoveling snow.  My husband is from CT and was always telling
me how great having four seasons was and how he wanted to get back to
that. He even said that he wouldn't mind shoveling the snow.  They sent
us to Northern Japan where the only thing between us and Siberia was
water.  He shoveled the snow twice then I had to take over.  NEVER
AGAIN.  It averaged 180" of snow a year there. BRRRR
Its spring here and the best time of the year to ride.  The trees are
blooming the grass is green the horses all think they are 3 year olds
no matter how old they are.  The poor farmers aren't ready for it
because of the rain and are frantically pruning the orchards, and
plowing.  The alfalfa is about 4" to 6" tall.  Its beautiful out.  The
only bad thing is that its still early enough in the year that there is
a still a chance that winter could come back.
