It’s official South Florida Hammock Season

We down here religiously observe the official beginning of South Florida Hammock Season, which occurs on the third Sunday in November or the day of the second cold front of the year, whichever comes first.  This year we were very fortunate to have the second cold front of the year happen on the third Sunday in November, so we hammockites were especially happy.

South Florida Hammock Season is the calendar opposite of Washington, D.C. Porch Season, which is observed by my brother-in-law Joel Achenbach, who writes for The Washington Post.  You can read Joel’s blog here.

This is also the time of year when I begin tormenting my older daughter who lives in New York and works for Marc Jacobs.  The conversation, usually from the hammock, and only when the weather in the City is especially nasty, like sleet and freezing temperatures, goes something like this:

Me:  Hi, Katy, I just thought I’d give you the weather report.

Katy:  Daddy, I hate you!

SF Hammock Season is also a great time for folks to go out looking for houses, so this afternoon I’ll be holding my favorite listing open.  It’s just down the street, and you can read about it here.
