OK, those of you who lived in cold climes will probably fall off your chairs laughing, but please keep in mind I live in a subTROPICAL area.

We are getting our first really cold snap of the season tonight. There's a hard freeze warning out. Fruit growers have crews out in the fields picking as fast as they can. Anything that freezes tonight will be ruined. I spent an hour covering plants in the yard to protect them. Horses are double blanketed and tucked in their stalls for the night. I put one of my old sweatshirts on my dog who lives in the barn. Brought some of the outside plants that are in pots in the house. As soon as I log off the computer I'm lighting a fire in the fireplace.

Some food for thought for those of you laughing your b-hinds off. It was in the 80s here yesterday!

Thanks for this!
