Spring is arriving in my part of Kentucky. I can see the ground with some green grass among the mud, and the trees are reddish with leaves about to open. 51 degrees and going higher each day. Not as warm as Florida, but with MS, I couldn’t handle the Florida heat. Life is good. Hugs, Angie

Angie, it has been so cold here in northwest Florida. 22 degrees Friday morning. We have nothing much flowering yet. I am ready for spring. 💖

I didn’t know it ever got cold in Florida Colleen. I know about the hurricanes because I have family living somewhere around the Tampa area, and my family made it out in front of one of them several years ago, but didn’t know it ever got in the low 20’s. We are having the beginning of spring here now in the Ohio River Valley, but if our spring is like our winter, that will mean record flooding in a few weeks. Going from snow skis to water skis. Not fun. I’m building an ark.

It has been a cold winter here in Pensacola, FL. We are close to Alabama in the Panhandle. The spring rains are going to begin this week so that should help. We had about 4 hard freezes. We are about 6 hours northwest from Tampa. We have a daughter there also. 💖

My brother used to live in northern Florida, but I can’t remember where at the moment. It’s been so long since I was able to travel I have just never paid much attention to places. Jacksonville Maybe? Or is that another state? He moved a lot until he got to Atlanta.
