NOT A COLD DAY IN HELL BUT COLD JUST THE SAME

It;s cold everywhere, Nebraska, Missouri, Georgia AND Florida.  We've had four or five nights below freezing here in central Florida and the farmers are sweating -- sweating whether their produce and orange crops will survive the freeze.  This is the season when they are supposed to make money by growing the oranges, the tomatoes, peppers and other produce the rest of the country wants during the winter months.  That produce may be a bit more expensive this year.

In the meantime, we snowbirds are holed up in our homes waiting for warmer weather so we can play golf, go fishing or just go for a long walk.  I've been getting out daily but it's an effort sometimes because of the cold weather.  Walking is easier when it is cool, but it's not much fun when it's downright cold and you have to bundle up with a hooded sweatshirt and leather jacket.  I even see some folks wearing gloves when out walking.  We old folks are stubborn, if nothing else.  But, like they say, where there's a will there's a way.
