Brrrrrrr......

I know all of you with snow, ice, and freezing temperatures will truly appreciate the latest "cold front" to make the news here in the Keys. It made it all the way down to 57 degrees overnight! Brrrrrr......
We are on the warming up side of it today and temps will rise to the mid- 70's.
The tourists and new arrivals have become very easy to pick out. They are the ones still sporting shorts and t-shirts while all the locals are walking around in long pants and are bundled up...although most of them are still wearing flip-flops.
In our defense, it does seem colder on the water and 57 is a little chilly to wake up to. Showering is a brisk experience and somewhat unpleasant once you come out of the hot water.
And it was in the high 80's just last week.
Cold is all about perspective.

Thank heavens for this bit of sunshine that we are having!! The chill in the air does make for some nice night-time cuddling though...
