April, 2025
We left Florida on Sunday, April 1, 2025 just after 1 pm. The drive, while a bit stressful due to its length (1010 miles), was pretty uneventful, taking just over 16 hours of straight driving with 5 stops along the way.
Getting in just before 5:30 am, we did not hit much traffic other than some towards Jacksonville, Florida, where there was a lot of rubbernecking.
It was good to get home again and all of us seemed to adjust to our home quickly. Maggie seemed to feel right at home, knowing which door to go out for her potty time. The weather was terrific, as temperatures the first two days got up close to 80 degrees, making it feel as if we hadn’t left Florida at all.
I got busy quickly, putting all the things we brought back in their proper places and then going out and cutting the lawn and getting the garden prepped for Spring planting.
I had brought some seedlings back from Florida and then started up others as the desire to grow veggies was pulling at me, due to the nice weather. That changed rather quickly, as clouds, wind and some rain came along to make sure we understood that we were back north and it wasn’t quite summer yet.
