Living in Florida!
We have had unusually cold weather for our area, however, it is nothing like the brutal cold and snow the rest of the country is experiencing. It does not snow and usually doesn't freeze, so we enjoy the outdoor life all year long. When I start to get cranky about it being too cold, I am trying to be grateful that it isn't snowing.
A cold front that will bring us seasonal temps of 60's during the day was ushered in by a pretty strong storm thunderstorm complete with some lightning last night. There is nothing like sleeping with the windows open to feel the breeze and hear the awesome sound of rain hitting the window awnings. Very hypnotic! I didn't want to get out of bed this morning, it was so pleasant since it was still raining.
After experiencing lots of damage to our plants, I am so grateful that we will be getting things ready this weekend to start our seeds and cuttings for spring. One of my favorite things is making an awesome pasta sauce that is made entirely from what we grow in our garden.
