The cold spell we have is weird. Last night it was in the 20's. Today the high is hopefully in the 40's. We do not get this cold for this extended period of time. The oranges will suffer as well as the strawberries. This morning I heard that US1 was closed in part of Florida due to...ICE? ICE in Florida! That's sort of the equivalent of "Hell freezing over" isn't it?

The holidays are officially over and we plod into the cold of winter when chicken soup tastes better than anything or a nice pot of chili. Hot cider with cinnamon sticks are a wonderful hand warmer or just a good cup of tea. Right now I'm dressing in layers, my Florida blood is not use to this intense cold.

I'd like to be a bear and just curl up in my cave right now. Sounds kind of good, doesn't it. Warm and sleepy. That's how to spend a winter's day.

Later.
