Hi from New England- You probably associate N.England with Halloween because of Salem,Mass. and the witch trials. I believe that there are still many people there who practice witchcraft.
Even though New England is beautiful, the Winters are extremely long and depressing and you can feel very isolated depending on your location.
We sometimes have temps of 15 below 0 or colder! I bet you would would miss Kentucky after 1 Winter of that. lol Yes,the grass always seems greener on the other side.Hope you have a good week.
