Finally a cold front is coming into Florida low 30 with a WC putting it down into the 20's YES a break from 80 degrees weather You're gonna get your wish bigtime like Saturday night, NMR. But I want to straighten you out on one thing: unlike apple growers (friend of mine whose family owns orchard in Wenatchee, WA informed me years ago that "apples have to freeze to taste good" [whadda I know; I never been to her state, but that's what she told me] the orange groves in central FL do NOT welcome freezing weather for their crop - why do you think they stay up all night watering the trees and burning smudge pots, or have you ever been there? Prolonged cold is kiss of death to orange crops. As for apples, I never saw any in FL and believe it's probably too hot for them there to grow. But interesting about freezing making taste good. Enjoy your cold snap....we sent it to ya from out west. |

We live in the central valley in California and they grow apples here. The bigger orchards are in the foothills where they get colder winters, but they also grow here in the valley where it get hotter than Florida in the summer. Jo |

Jo I've been in the Central Valley (the Veggie Bin) and still remember the thrill of eating apricots we picked off their owner's tree (invited to, of course). I didn't know what 'cots grew on till that day. I also know how it gets hot there as I have a nephew living in a little town north of Fresno, but had no idea apples grew in Central Valley. Maybe what my friend said depended on what kind of apples you're growing, which I don't remember what kind her family's orchards were. I also loved the Nut growers up around Winters (just outside Napa Valley, east) and where we lived (Bay Area) walnuts were just falling off the trees everywhere, even in town. |

My parents moved to coastal NC. They love the summers, and it gets cool enough in the winters that you know it's winter. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Can't wait till I can move and spend the hot summer months somewhere else than come back to the farm I grew up on in Kentucky Matthew just a good old Hill Billy that saw the city I can understand that. Not that you asked for it, but I would warn you that people, companies, shelters ... it will probably never seem like they can do without you. I have worked my butt off before, lost sleep and lost sanity, to keep an organization running (granted, the shelter is a good thing to keep running; my stuff didn't have the element of doing good) ... and the more I did, the more there was to do. Eventually I had to escape, and it was a very good decision for me. I was also in a horrible relationship that I didn't want to leave because I thought the guy would never survive without me. A long time ago, someone told me that in order to take care of others, you have to take care of yourself. If you don't take care of yourself, then when you lose it, those who depend on you will be totally lost. So ... if you ever find that you really do hate living in Florida, give yourself permission to move. You can help people even if you don't live next to them. Anyway, sorry, don't mean to sound like a know it all (I sure don't!). -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |
