Note - the weather has moderated finally, but the weather people are saying that there's more to come in the future.
Yeah, yeah, I know this is Florida. It doesn't get cold in Florida.
Right.
Night time lows in the twenties and daytime highs in the 30's - 40's. Wind chills bringing it down to to the teans and twenties.
Not cold at all is it?
Phooey.
So okay, I'm drawing on my upstate New York roots and bringing out all the treats and tricks that made life not only bearable but actually enjoyable during the winters of my childhood.
Hot beverages- this is a given, everything from hot cocoa to mulled wine. Besides I dislike cold hands and this is te easiest way to warm them when I've been out and about in bad weather especially.
Blankets and throws, especially hand made. Vintage ones from the thrift or antique store work just as well.
Cats (or the favorite pet of your choice) Mine are happy to oblige me by sitting on my feet and keeping them warm.
Baked goods - homemade or bought, your choice. Anything that goes good with the afor- mentioned hot beverages.
My beloved crockpot. This time of year, especially with the new grand baby to Christmas shop for(!), I can't always guarantee that I'll be home in time to make supper so this thing has become my new bff.
