It is a bit chilly at 5:45 Wednesday morning. Twenty-four degrees at Maritime Museum. This sustained cold will do major damage to plants and even fruit trees. My lemon tree was just beginning to burst into bloom. With help from Fred Beeler I harvested the grapefruit yesterday afternoon.
The forecast for Thursday is "a chance of precipitation". Friday there is a fifty-percent chance it will not snow. They put it a little differently from that. By Saturday we will be back to normal. On Super Bowl Sunday one can go to the beach. I think church would be a better option. If you think your church is cold, then try the beach!
Isn't it amazing in our computerized, sophisticated, intellectual, self-reliant, age.......we can be reduced, across the country, to shivering, warmth-seeking mortals, seeking the basics of food, warm clothing, and a protected shelter. Mother Nature can do that! I had rather say Father God. He is still in charge of the wind and waves, snow and ice, cold and warmth, clouds and clear , night and day and life and death. "He's got the whole world in His hands.". It is like, in these days, God is telling us to look to the skies, not for signs of snow or sleet, but for guidance and warmth and love from our Creator!
