Let it Snow?

Ooooo, it's cold here now! It is a most un-garden-like day today! For the first time since I can remember it's going to go below 30 degrees in Tampa. As you can see, it's already 41.9 and it's only 9:15 PM. Today I am most glad that my little seedlings are safe and sound and toasty warm inside the house. My mailman Mr. Bob said he planted his tomatoes already and is wishing now his were inside too! Guess he'll be covering his little tomato babies tonight. If we can make it through to this weekend, we should be back up to 72, and you better believe I'm looking forward to that!

I know I have it good compared to most of the country right now, but the fact remains that I have Florida blood and - Wow! I'm cold!"

Thank goodness for the heater

and for the heating pad

that keeps my little seedlings

happy and not sad.

Thank goodness that my house

is warm and safe and dry,

if it weren't so

I think I'd have to cry.

For my blood's as thin as water

just like my little plants,

if it drops to 55

we haven't got a chance!
