Aaaaahhhhhhh…………..the sweet memories of last summer. We drive past that fountain every morning on our way to drop Liam of at kindergarten, and it has long since been turned off and drained. We have had some very cold days, and an unusually long string of them, too.
It did moderate somewhat today when the temperature climbed all the way to 29*. We were coming out of the grocery store when the boys spied some sheets of ice in the parking lot to slide on. Liam asked me, “Mommy? How is it that there is still ice when it’s so warm outside?” You know it’s been cold when 29* feels like a warm spell.
But at least we are prepared for cold like this – I feel sorry for the strawberry and orange growers in the South!

Please also feels sorry for Grandma’s plants in Texas as we’ve had a few days when it was 11 degrees at night here and my azelea plants, still with flowers on them, are shivering in the cold!
Brr!
It’s supposed to be 33 degrees here on Thursday and I’m so excited! How sad is that?
