Hi there!  Hope you're staying warm----we are, but just because we're staying inside.

As you can see, I found some ice----here's what happened.  Over the weekend the weather was the big
story and has been every day now for the past week.  It's crazy that in the northeast corner of Florida, it's been
below freezing every night for a week now.  I think it went down to 19º last night. 

The farmers a little farther south are worried about the strawberry & orange crops.  They have elaborate sprinkler
systems for the strawberries & sometimes intentionally wet the plants to form a sheet of ice over the fruit.
I, personally, don't understand how it could work but it seems to do the job. 

On one of the newscasts over the weekend they showed a photo of actual ice that formed on top of some
spot on the intra coastal---but said it had to be s fresh water source because salt water doesn't freeze.
Anyway, I got the idea that I would go out and look for some kind of frosty, wintry image to blog about.

Unfortunately, I didn't remember my plans until about 10:30 this morning when the sun had been shining
brightly for a few hours.  So, I decided to look in the shade & hope for the best.  I still had on my pajamas, because
for some reason I really hate getting out of a nice warm bed and abandoning my nice warm clothing.
SO, I just put a sweatshirt on top of my pj's & pants over the bottoms, added a hat & mittens and hurried
out the back door toward the water.  The air was so cold, it was shocking!

Thankfully, I found a little patch of ice still frozen in the dark oozy brown fiddler crab inhabited, covered up at
high tide, marsh grass sustaining edge of the tidal creek mucky stuff. Then I quickly ran back inside because
I was freezing.

PHOTIP:  Don't put clothes over your pajamas to shoot a picture--clothes made for that purpose really
do a better job of protecting you from the elements...

Blessings!
