After a pretty cold winter last year, we have really had a nice, mild winter this year. The tulip trees have all bloomed out nicely, and my azalea bushes are about half-way covered with beautiful pink, red, and white flowers. I noticed the other day that even the bridal bush is showing some white blossoms.
But, alas, last night we had a hard freeze. This morning I had to break the ice in the chickens' water dish. My beautiful azaleas are a bit droopy. But that's the story of weather here in Florida. There's an old saying going around that if you don't like the weather here, just wait around a few minutes and it will change. Tonight we're supposed to have another hard freeze, 23 degrees. Tomorrow night, a mere 58 degrees. Go figure!
Simply gorgeous!!

Gorgeous azaleas. I found you on Etsy Cottage Garden Party, and am now following your blog. This is a great blog :)
ReplyDeleteI knew you would have something pretty to share Regina! I love Florida, been there a couple times, but it is an all day plane travel event when we come from Oregon! Hope to get there in 2013.
ReplyDeleteHi Regina, just stopping by to say how delightful your blog is. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris

Hi Regina: Thank you for your kind words, I just checked my story, "Re Car, Blue Car," and found your comment. And thank you for adding my blog to your blog list.

It sounds like your weather is as wacky as New Jersey's. Your azaleas are pretty! I was impressed with your big heirloom tomato, last post. It rivals our Jersey tomatoes, which everyone brags about! This winter was mild, and some herbs didn't ever freeze and die off. But the daffodils are just starting to show some leaves. Have fun planning this years garden! I am your newest follower, I'm glad I found you at the Cottage Garden Party!
