I envy you that, Don.

I suspect I'd be right at home.

Maybe from May thru October. May is apple blossom time at Karl's farm.

Had a job applicant/interview candidate arrive from Texas at MSP in
January years ago. I met him at the airport. Evening arrival, don't
recall what the temp was other than unremarkably well below zero. When
we went out the door to exit the terminal he gasped, involuntarily
uttered an expression of surprise that'd blister the paint off a
hockey rink, went back into the terminal and booked the next flight
outta here.
