Another record-breaking frosty morning here in Orlando today. I took some pics at dawn, and here they are. I don't have a thermometer here at thishouse, but I can tell you that the ground is covered with crunchy, frosty grass.
Pond emerging from the misty frost.
Where is the pond?
My house from the frosty back yard.
Frozen orange juice on my backyard tree??
I am hoping this will be the last white, frosty morning down here for a long while! Most of the stranded travelers who have been waiting at the airports are finally finding flights home to the Northeast today, as those airports get shoveled out and opened up. Many have found other ways home, such as rental cars, trains when possible, and buses when possible. But the majority of tourists have had their vacations extended by several days due to the blizzard conditions back home.
I am having no trouble getting on this ORS site, but many still could not get on last night, as they reported in the chatroom. From here I will try the Ladies' RV forum, as I couldn't get in there yesterday morning.
I hope you all are having a decent, albeit cold, week wherever you might be. I don't think I will be swimming today, but maybe tomorrow!
Coffee is hot and Hazlenut flavored, so stop by and tell us what's going on in your neck of the woods.
Officer was nice about it and talked to gs who was shaking in his socks. I think he knows the seriousness of his offense now. After the policeman left, we took the finished note of apology back to the neighbors. She still didn't answer the door, so we left the note. GKs: ACK!
hope next week will be better...
Hope she goes peacefully. Does she have family there? (Does she have kids?) You have been such a great friend for her! I know you will miss her terribly! We all will miss her here too...
When I took Shade out to do her business she was absolutely ecstatic. Good grief that silly dog acted like a pup and went nuts. Jumped the cat from next door and bowled her over trying to get the cat to play with her in the snow. Shade took her self a nice rolling snow bath of course and then started plowing her nose into it and eating the snow. Wish the heck I had had the camera! I do have some pictures of the snow as when I took her in I woke Kelly up (grrr, grumble, growl) and asked her where the camera was and I went back out to take pix. Did manage to get some of Shade dusted with snow and looking like a speckled black blob! Dang it's hard to get good pix of black dogs! 
Has everyone close to her told her good-bye and that it's okay for her to let go? I know that it was important for us kids to do that with our mom. The hospice social worker encouraged us all to do that, and since I was at school I called her and told her. She died later that evening -- actually, right after my brother left her. We all think that she was waiting for him to leave because she didn't want him to actually see the end.
