These temps are crazy cold for us today. Had to the heat on in the house, add extra heat lamps to the brooders too. Tonight I get to cover my tropical plants so we don't suffer loses. None of the animals have skipped a beat today though. Ducks and geese splashing, chickens running all over. Glad we only deal with a few really cold days each year.

We are supposed to get to 21, and we are just up the road a bit.
I hate losing the citrus. It had no chilling hours to get it hardy.
It was in the nineties before Christmas, and now the plants get slammed.

Went out to feed the birds and ran right back in to get a jacket.

Weenies indeed.

Didn't want to disappoint.


Of course, whenever I've been in Florida in the summer, I've just about died from the heat, so I guess we all are weenies, it just depends on what we're used to.

I'm from "Up North", I think you all have our winter down there. It was 56 deep in Northern Maine yesterday. I walked from the hot tub to the house I was at in my bikini, not to do the hot/cold thing, but because it was so warm I didn't need to put my fleece pants & down jacket back on after I got out.
I would be very bummed about the citrus trees. Heck, I AM really bummed - I love my Florida oranges. I pray for good weather for you all & for us to FINALLY get some snow.

I'm up North here, and I don't think ya'll are wiennies! I'm jealous!!

I'm wishing we had only a few really cold days, but must confess our winter has been fairly mild up here! First snow today!

Today was fun. Up at 7 and walked out in my sleeping shirt and shorts like i do to feed the ducks and forgot about the cold. Ran and dumped the food in the pen and ran back inside lol. They are all enjoying it though!
