Chill Wind


          So, before I fell asleep last night, the weather channel for our area in Florida had an overnight wind chill warning – for 25 degrees.
Meanwhile this morning my neighbor in Massachusetts texted me today that she woke up to 2 degrees.  25 in Mass is pretty much just another brisk winter day.

          It’s all perspective, I guess. I cancelled golf yesterday at the last minute because after a stroll outside with Mamie in our 55 degree gale-force winds I realized that a few hours on the course would likely leave me courting pneumonia. I’ve been battling a whale of a cold since Saturday – one reason for my blog neglect.

          As I went to the library in a fleece and sandals, I thought, “Only in Florida.” At home no one sees my feet until the temperature reaches 70.

          It should warm up a little in the next few days and my frozen plants currently seeking sanctuary from the porch will be glad of it.

  1. I saw on the news today that it's so cold that you need to watch out for falling iguanas! :-)

  2. Colds are miserable beasts and I hope yours does an Elvis and leaves the building. Soon.
    We have another hot and windy day and the fire danger rating is severe. I would swap weather with your side of the globe in a heart beat.

    1. Oh my goodness. I can't even imagine what you are all going through there. It's absolutely horrific.

  3. That is one sorry plant. Keep it away from the iguanas.
