Let’s play.

Because it’s Friday and the weekend is almost here.

We live in Maine for many reasons but high on the list? The scenic beauty.

.

.

Rocky shores, coastal plains, virgin forests, rolling pastures and small pristine mountains. I love the change of seasons… the crisp colors of fall, the winter wonderland of snow.

I lived down south for 17 years and while parts of it are beautiful, it was never home. Too hot, too flat, too depressingly brown for Christmas.

So give me the blue zone. The cool air, the lakes, the mountains, the northern coasts. Quirky New England villages and Montana’s wide open valleys. I’ll be a happy camper. (Metaphorically speaking as I don’t camp.)

How about you?

Pick a zone.

  1. Im blue too, but need to trade everything west of NY for Florida. Hate its politics, but love its beaches and need to be able to getaway from the cold easily (direct flights only!) in the winter. 😉 NE/NY + FLA = 👍

    1. While I agree there are some lovely parts of Florida, I can’t say I’m a huge fan. Too crowded, too touristy and too damn hot. We went for Xmas a while back and it was 98 degrees. Ugh. Rudolph and I were wilting.

      3. I’ve never been to St Augustine! I want to do a loop next year. See my SIL in Orlando, then St. Augustine for 2 nights, then one of those beach towns like Palm Coast before back to Orlando. How was the beach there? (I’m much more familiar with the DelRay/Boca area.)

      4. Palm Coast is lovely. Quiet, more laid back, lots of walking trails. St. Augustine is fun, filled with history but very crowded and traffic is a nightmare. My husband is not a huge beach guy but I dragged him out for a Christmas Eve walk in St. Augustine and it was quite nice.

  3. This is easy, and since I was the brat of a 20-year Air Force Officer, and then did 20 myself in the Army, I have lived in every one of these zones, including the Arctic (McMurdo Sound), Hawaii, New Hampshire, Washington State, California, Arizona, Georgia, Montana, Texas, Delaware, Colorado (and this is not a complete list, and not a list of States I have visited, except the Artic, where I stayed for 90 days). We lived in these places. I can say, without a doubt, Yellow is my color. For all your other readers, how many of these colors have you actually LIVED in? Hard to decide when you are choosing based on absence.

  5. I’d stay in the red zone, I’ve traveled to other zones. And other than the heat during the summer, I’d be happy living here the rest of my life. No severe snow storms, no freezing power loss, no floods, no humidity, just dry hot and cold weather.

  6. I’m in the orange zone (IL), but honestly, I’d rather be in the blue. I’d happily live in the blue zone for the rest of my days, even if it isn’t where I live now. So many great places! It’s fitting that they chose blue. 😊

  8. Nope, only because i think Pa & Jersey should be blue and all those states in the mid & north west should be another color. Because i prefer the northeast.

  10. I would be hesitant to limit myself to a zone as in a good card game, I would like to keep my options open. Sometimes for the future, I do believe that zones will be hard to mingle with as people living in one zone are weary, sometimes for good reason, of people in other zones. I enjoy living in the South as I am familiar with the culture and the people and the climate. I can read it easily but that I still want to see sights that have nothing to do with zones of blue, red, or gold like parts of Northern California, the redwoods, Wyoming, mountains, etc. I grew up in the NorthEast and know that many parts of NY state are complex but the weather is in your face, so there is that.
