WINTER COLLECTOR'S CHOICE AUCTION

The Change of Seasons - Winter in Florida
I'm often asked whether or not I miss the change of seasons. Contrary to what my northern friends believe, we do have change of seasons here. The weather cools off a bit, the humidity disappears and the Snow Birds arrive signaling the start of the new season. To those of you wondering, "What is a Snow Bird?" They are a migrating species that are easy to spot when they land in Florida. You'll find they are slightly pale grey in color, usually a bit stressed from the trip, and all a twitter at being back. They often shed when they get here revealing bright tropical colors while exposing pale arms, calves, and ankles. Soon after arrival, they rush around and gather items to feather their nest and make the winter more comfortable. Fortunately, we are almost always their first stop. Welcome back snow birds, we missed you!
As always, we thank you for your support and
we look forward to seeing you at the auctions.
