Freezing in Florida

Yesterday was still pretty nice but you could feel the cooler air arriving. Last night the trailer started to get uncomfortably cold so I turned the furnace on. I always think of these trailers as sort of like tin cans...the outside air temperature penetrates the walls very fast.

Today's temperature will only be a high of 54 degrees and it will go well below freezing overnight so this means I'll have to cover my plants with sheets to protect them. Last year I don't think we had one night that actually went below freezing but this year has been different all around. We've had much hotter temperatures throughout the fall all the way to the end of the year so the average all has to even up somehow. The mean temperature in any given year doesn't vary by much.

I've already made plans on how to spend a cold, Florida day. A group of us ladies are going to the internet casino up the road and then to lunch. Poor us...we'll probably have to wear sweaters!
