How cold are we, really?

Ha! I just hit enter and entered my title all alone again for the first time in months I do believe.

My mind was elsewhere I suspect. This severe cold that has attacked the world is something to be reckoned with, and I imagine will too be blamed on global warming once again, a hole in the ozone layer causing all these record breaking temperatures!

Did you know that it was flurrying and sleeting in Orlando today?
And that us, three hours further south Floridians are looking to tonight to go down into the twenties?
What the heck is going on?
And here I really thought that the end of mankind and woman kind was going to be by burning up from the sun getting too much exposure from that notorious hole, not that we would freeze to death!

Earlier on IM I spoke to our old neighbor in Jersey and they too are in the twenties right now, but dropping to the teens tonight. Yesterday, I checked on my order of black sweat pants from Hanes, and the operator was in North Carolina and they had temperatures in the teens yesterday; in the Carolinas!

Well, Hubby did all he could on protecting our crops again, fruits as well as veggies.

Today was the type of day that just begged for homemade soup and so I made some corn chowder, since my two week diet does not allow raw veggies or even shellfish! Dinner was pot roast ala pressure cooker, adding humidity to our overly heated very dry home.

The email wires too were busy with electronic communications from hither and yon, proving to me that nearly all of my family and friends peeps were staying logically within their dwellings; how apropos!

My sign of welcome was hung today in our foyer over the door across from our entry, but tomorrow it will come down to get an additional border of trim to give it, in my mind, a more finished look. We found leftover trim/edging from another project and it appears to be just the right size.

Indoor projects, games, movies, what-have-you are a great way to beat the winter blahs; this is crazy to even say that here in the Sunshine State!
We should be wearing flip flops and bathing suits, boating, fishing, swimming and shelling; this is sooooooooooo wrong!
Why oh mighty powerful one why oh why….Al Gore, tell me why?
Snowing in Europe for the first time in thirty years, the coldest we have been in Florida for the first time in over twenty! Craaaa zeeee!

My heat is set high and is electric; we cannot take the cold anymore, no more blood in our veins, please we need some sunshine, did I mention that it was raining again today in our dry season? So sad and dull were the skies I had to put on a light to see inside! This is so wrong my friends, you betcha!

Good night to all and to all stay warm, and count those blessings and we will too!
