8. You guys are getting it all....we haven't seen any lately....

totally weird! I'm about 20 miles outside Duluth and we usually get lake-effect snow, but we've escaped it for awhile. I'm going into spring-psychosis mode. I have purchased approximately twenty packs of seeds, and a pair of sandals. I wore the sandals outside twice today, even though it was still freezing. I am going to bend the weather to my will.

I love it. I'm gonna do that too.

it's really a beautiful state...I swear! The Garden State is not really an ironic slogan

[Flying Dream Blues]

40. I agree! Beautiful. Especially as a refugee from the concrete

jungle of NYC, on those rare weekends we got away. Nothing against the city, it's a wonderland, but it will jangle your nerves if you stay there non-stop.

[calico1]

64. New Jersey has many really lovely areas.

You would never think that by the way it is portrayed but its true. My best friend lives there. In the Teaneck area. New Jersey also has a lot of farm land which is also something many people don't know. Its one of the biggest producers of eggplant and the blueberries from NJ are the best imo.
