This weekend is supposedly the last bit of "chilly" weather we'll encounter for the year. I'm speaking for the plants of course. We (the people) experienced the last chilly weather with some low 50 degree stuff a couple weeks back. Tonight and tomorrow mark the last sub 50 evening weather we should have this winter. When the evenings don't drop below 60 and the ground warms to that temp, everything springs to life in FL. When the palms start moving, you're there. We planted our herb seeds last weekend along with a sunflower or two. We're trying out a few new things this spring with a couple mangrove trees from seed pods the boys and I collected from the river. We've put together a little orchid garden (up to 4 species now). I'm even trying a little one in a tree. OK, enough of the gardening and rub it in your face warm weather comments. Life's not all flowers and pineapples (did I mention I'm growing one of those,too?)
The boys are in full stride with Soccer, Hockey and Skating lessons taking up much of the weekend. Pics to follow. The beach has tempted us on several occasions, but at 70 degrees, the water's still a little cold. We're taking full advantage of the Zoo, along with thousands of other people. If the new kids area gets any more attendance, we'll have to start limiting entrants.....good things for the zoo during this tough economy.
That's the update for the night. Not much else going on. Looking forward to a full weekend and busy March.
