Wednesday we were out and about enjoying the sunshine in the cool temperatures. We both had sweatshirts on and the day was perfect. After having a bite to eat at the Breakfast Station in Crawfordville we were ready for our next stop. We visited with Christy and Rik, dropping off presents. Both are feeling better and Christy is into the holiday season with trees and decorations everywhere!
Temperature climbing into the 60’s we were happy campers. Next stop at Publix for last minute items to get us through Christmas Day. Lovely drive home, winding our way through the countryside. Sun peeking in and out of the trees like twinkling lights.
Once home and everything put away I enjoyed a cup of coffee. Meanwhile Jim was out back taking care of the black tank (the weather helped with that, being so nice). Once he came in he made his coffee.
As the afternoon wore on, the temperature was dropping. The sun went down and with clear skies it got even colder, quickly. By the time we went to bed around 2200 it was in the low 40’s. Predicted low was 38 degrees.
This morning when I got up at 0600 it was 34 degrees outside. Listen up! We don’t like these northern temperatures so please stop sending them! Are you listening? The temperature continued to drop and stopped at 32. There was frost! I’m so glad I put my poinsettias in the compartment. Being a tropical plant they would not like these temperatures! So stop sending them. I’m sure my friends Anne and Marilyn are just trying to share ‘their’ cold weather with us for Christmas. Not quite the present we want.
