Burr! A cold front's coming through and after starting the day this morning with temps in the 60's @ 3am and a bit of a shower, it's now 48 and falling. 'Sposed to hit the low 30's tonight. Now that's chilly for central Florida. When I moved here 15 years ago from Missouri I had worked outside there and 30 was nothin'. Now I seem to be a little more sensitive to the chill. Still, I like it cooler better than hotter.
'Course folks north of the Mason-Dixon line look down here with envy this time of the year. 2 feet of snow...Bahh! There was a time...even now I sometimes wish I could be in the snow, for a day. Just to enjoy it. But I can't imagine living in the snow belt. I'd rather battle the heat and humidity May - September than the snow/slush/ice through the winter.
I do miss having the allergies only for a few weeks in the spring and late summer. The first 5 years here were great. No sniffles. itchy eyes and so forth. But then allergies Florida style hit and they stay with ya year round.
But then, it's still nice to sit on the back porch in December-February in my shorts, sandals and t-shirt sipping ice tea and pick up the phone and dial up one of those friends hunkered down in the cold and snow. Makes me smile just thinkin' 'bout it!
