Winter has arrived in Florida!

On Christmas day this beautiful sunflower began to bloom into this smiling sunflower.  It was an encouraging sight, but as things go, winter must come so spring can too...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last night we had a hard frost and my happy little sunflower is now hanging its pretty little head in sadness hoping that the weather will once again bring warmth!

Not likely for a while, so say the weathermen.  We along with the rest of the country are in for our share of cold wintery weather and are expecting mixed precipitation in a few days. 

Does that mean snow?  Hide and watch!  One thing is certain though, if we get snow or ice this native NY gal is keeping her car in the driveway because all too many folks just don't know how to drive in snow and ice. 

This is a great time to look at homes in the Ocala area, the bugs are gone along with the intense heat and the prices are very affordable, click on my name below to request your list of available foreclosed properties.

It is still warmer here than most of the rest of the country, still a great time to live in the sunshine state!

I know in the meantime you have snow Sarah, but I couldn't resist commenting on this post with the beautiful sunflower. Here in the VERY cold Midwest it warmed the cockles of my heart to see it.

Thank you for making my day.

ps. Of course I'm talking about the first photo. I am completely ignoring the fact that this beautiful flower suffered under the negative effects of the frost!

Aw that's sad... poor little sunflower!  I hope it doesn't get any worse than this.

Georgina,  It got much worse and there is zero life left in the poor little thing now.  Rats!
