Oh Karen, it is soooo pretty to look at .... and If you came down here the next few days, it would have to be HOT Tea! :) We are getting Winter Temps the next day or two. No Snow though! We actually had Flurries .... actually Snow Flakes falling at Thanksgiving! That was our first cold snap. I remember back in the 80's we had a really cold winter and we had taken our niece and nephew to a movie on Christmas Day @ 7:00 in the evening and when we came out of the movie, the locks on the car door were frozen! Hubby finally got the passenger door open, we all climbed in and the passenger door wouldn't close because it was frozen again! So, we drove the few blocks home with me holding the door closed! Yeah, this may be Florida, but we do get cold here at times. We are going to be @ 28 on Saturday morning ... I know my huge Shefflera's in the back yard will be mush. Here's a before the cold photo now, of one of the Shef's taller than the screen pool enclosure. If we get a hard freeze, I will take an after photo and post them next week! They have frozen down before, but always come back in spring!
