Recently, the weather has been in the news a lot. In Australia they are having horrendous floods that have taken many lives. Here in the United States the reports of unseasonable tornadoes and big snowstorms, which have canceled many airline flights, have dominated the weather news. Right now there is snow in forty-nine of the fifty states. I happen to live in the only state with no snow, Florida, but that doesn't mean we've been spared some weather woes. The temperatures here in the past few days have been twenty degrees below normal.
The photo below shows the fountain in my yard filled with ice.
The following photos show a number of the plants in my yard that have died above the ground. Hopefully, they will come back from the roots.
Above, you see my poor hydrangea.
This photo shows what is left of my hibiscus.
This is the typical state of the oleanders in my yard.
And finally, these are a few of the potted plants I have dragged inside. These will go back outside at my front door as soon as the night time temperatures are above thirty-five. I have found a place for a few of my tropical plants inside the house until spring comes. However, many of my tropical plants have found a winter time home in my garage this year. I'm ready for hot and humid.
What about you? How has the weather affected you lately?
