Brrrrr! It is Kinda Cold in South Florida!

Gettin' ready for bed. The last 2 nights have been our coldest yet. Dipping down into the low & mid 30's. Emma wore her fleecy jammies with a layer of tights & a onesie under it. Then, the fleecy sleep sack over the top. She was warm when we got her out of bed that morning. Daddy put her fleecy hat on at bedtime, but it did not stay on, of course.

Here is our front lawn covered in frost this morning about 7:30.

We pulled all of our outdoor plants, even the small potted palms from the back yard, onto the porch and covered them with the beach blanket. Hoping to keep them getting frost on them. Seems to have worked!


The temp. at 9:00 AM is still about 38. I just checked online and it is now about 44 degrees (10:30 AM). If you live in the North, you will think that those temps sound divine, but to us who are acclimated to this weather- it is COLD!! We are enjoying our winter, but it is COLD! I have found that I feel the same, and wear the same wardrobe whether I am experiencing Florida winter OR Kansas winter. One year I was wearing my winter COAT down here on the playground each day and then spent a week at Katrina's in Kansas and didn't bother to even put it on some times when I went out. The weather felt the same for whatever reason.
