Hey Neighbors!
What a change in the weather we’ve had. The warmth over last weekend is already missed. This time of year always feels extra cold, especially to me as my ‘Florida blood’ takes longer to ‘thicken up’. Also, many are still holding out on starting the furnace or wood burning stove for as long as possible, myself included, which seems to be the norm. Get those sweaters out since our highs head into the 50s and even lows in the high 30s early next week.
