New England Complex

As New Englanders, we learn from a young age that one of the uncertainties of life here is the weather. We very much appreciate the change of seasons, scenery, activities, temperatures... but always looking forward to 6 months ahead, where the weather is the opposite...

During the summer, we love going to the beach, staying cool, enjoying outdoor bbq's and sports. But even though the summer fly's by and I enjoy every second of it, I'm also looking forward to winter and big snowstorms ahead...

And during the winter, we love going up to the mountains, enduring the cold for fun in the snow on the slopes, indoor holiday and house parties, vacationing in places much warmer during the coldest weeks of the year..

And we cannot forget the seasons in between... fall bringing on the freshest of air, getting outside to see the foliage and enjoy the brisk temperatures in merely a sweater..

While spring brings new life to the plants and flowers as they awaken from their slumbers, and those first days where you can get by with short sleeves and feel the suns radiant beams upon your face...

People generally don't like change, but for most of us New Englander's we thrive on it.. and it's what makes each and every year fantastic...
