Climate Change

A high of 48 yesterday with a low of 21 last night. That's chilly! Especially for Florida. Even Timmy had to warm up next to the fire:

And yes, as you can see, we have fireplaces in Florida. (It's cheaper than electric!) Of course the fireplace doesn't help the garden which I hope has no damage:




29 degrees at 9:30 AM! We'll see what happens.

Not My Garden Picture

I have a confession to make. As a Plumbing Contractor in Florida, I'm praying for a very, very very, cold & snowy winter up north. (Do I need to explain why? We need work!). Although I think it's working, there's been a draw back........extra cold in Florida! Lows of 29, 24 & 22 are predicted again this week, and for the first time I'm really worried about the veggies in the garden. I'll do my best to cover them up, and then.........we'll see. In the meantime, I want to post this picture I took of my oldest daughter this past summer at the Bridge of Flowers in Shelbourne Falls, MA. to help remind me of the beauty of summer (and daughters!) and the never ending cycle of life.


"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!" Luke 12:27,28

Freezer Burn!

It was 22 degrees yesterday, 27 degrees today and we have a little damage. It's my first winter garden and I thought the cold crops were indestructible. I was wrong. Here's a couple pics.....


Very frosty. Maybe frost makes cabbage taste better!



Potatoes.
This is what happens when I'm in charge.





All you Yankees up there, look how bad we've got it!




I know this has nothing to do with cold weather, but I hate it when this happens.
Notice my little radishes coming up.
