It's literally freezing here in Central FLORIDA....going to be in the low 20s tonight.
There were a few snowflakes falling as I walked O'Malley in the early hours of the morning.

Staying in the house as much as possible, with the heat on.
We had to cover our tropical plants....don't know if they will survive.
We put flannel sheets and a big down-filled comforter on the bed.....it's so cosy!
We had breakfast in bed this morning and watched "Sense and Sensibility".
O'Malley has to have his walks, so 3 times a day I get a sweater, warm jacket, hood and boots on and we walk about a mile.
We very rarely eat red meat, but at Dave's request I have made a crock pot full of beef stew with Guinness.
Soon I will add the mushrooms, barley and potatoes.
I am reading at 7am Mass tomorrow, so I'll have to leave the house at 6:30am.....Brrrrr!
I'm glad to report that local homeless shelters and churches say they will not turn away anybody in need.
As you can imagine, homeless people from other States come down to FL in Winter because it's usually warmer.
So the shelters get pretty full.
I think I'll go and see if they need help tomorrow.
I trained in Shelter Management with the Red Cross, and can recommend their courses.
You never know when you may need the skills they teach.
