Things I Like About the Cold Weather

1. Turning on the tap and getting ice cold water. You don't get that too often down here.

2. My daughter's hair. When she wears her little pink Dora the Explorer hat and when she pulls it off, the static makes all of her hair stand on end. It makes us giggle every time.

3. All of my potted plants are now inside and my living room looks decidedly jungle-like.

4. It makes a hot grande caffe mocha taste even better.

5. In two days it will be 70 degrees again.

That's the thing about cold weather there - you know it will warm up in a few days. Here, the cold just gets worse, which is why I'm hibernating and eating sugar cookies with bright purple and green icing!

Happy New Year to you ... love the Hallowe'en pic!

You'd love the water up here then, comes out of the tap at about 40 degrees.

On the flip side, I used to love Florida in the Summer when you could take a shower without turning on the hot water.

Hi Wicked Gardner, how did your outside plants do?
I agree with you the best thing about cold weather in Florida is that it is 70 degrees two days later, like today

Just checking in to see how all of the plants fared in last week's freeze...

I smile everytime I read about cold weather from a warm climate perspective. I loved each of the things you enjoy about the 'cold'! What a wonderfully positive view!
