Frosty Florida
I’m shivering. I just got done watching a movie out in the family room and I had to wrap myself up in a quilt to remain warm. My nose is cold as ice. It is just flat cold here in Florida tonight. In fact, in almost all counties north of the Tampa area, there are hard frost warnings for tonight. At least three shelters were opened over in Tampa due to the cold. A lot of our homeless population can live outside all year around, but on nights like this they need someplace indoors to sleep. These freeze shelters are also open for those who do not have adequate heat in their homes.
It is only supposed to dip into the mid-30s in my immediate area, but after weeks of unseasonably high temperatures, it seems a shock to have to get out the gloves and hats. I miss living up north when I think of things like the autumn leaves and the first snow, but in no way do I miss extended periods of very cold weather. I like to wear my sandals 12 months out of the year and would not trade that. Still, nights like this are a welcome break from the warm and a nice reminder of home.
